Human Dignity in Contemporary Ethics develops a holistic and
relevant understanding of human dignity for ethics today. Whilst
critics of the concept of human dignity call for its dismissal, and
many of its defenders rehearse the same old arguments, this book
offers an alternative set of methodological assumptions on which to
base a revitalized and practical understanding of human dignity,
which at the same time overcomes the challenges that the concept
currently faces. The Component Dimensions of Human Dignity model
enables human dignity to serve both as a descriptive category that
explains moral choices, and as a normative criterion that helps to
evaluate moral behaviour. A consideration of two cases violent
crime and physician-assisted suicide demonstrates how the model
offers a way to avoid the pitfalls of both moralism and moral
relativism, while still leaving space for relativity in ethics. By
using an approach that should be acceptable to both religious and
secular perspectives alike, this book offers a unique way out of
the dignity talk that currently plagues ethics.
