Understanding Human Dignity aims to help the reader make sense of
current debates about the meaning and implications of the idea of
human dignity. The concept of human dignity has probably never been
so omnipresent in everyday speech, or so deeply embedded in
political and legal discourse. In debates on torture, abortion,
same-sex marriage, and welfare reform, appeals to dignity are
seldom hard to find. The concept of dignity is not only a prominent
feature of political debate, but also, and increasingly, of legal
argument. Indeed, courts tell us that human dignity is the
foundation of all human rights. But the more important it is, the
more contested it seems to have become. There has, as a result,
been an extraordinary explosion of scholarly writing about the
concept of human dignity in law, political philosophy, and
theology. This book aims to reflect on these intra-disciplinary
debates about dignity in law, philosophy, history, politics, and
theology, through a series of edited essays from specialists in
these fields, explored the contested concept in its full richness
and complexity.
