Dignity is a fundamental aspect of our lives, yet one we rarely
pause to consider; our understandings of dignity, on individual,
collective and philosophical perspectives, shape how we think, act
and relate to others. This book offers an historical survey of how
dignity has been understood and explores the concept in the
Judaeo-Christian tradition. World-renowned contributors examine the
roots of human dignity in classical Greece and Rome and the
Scriptures, as well as in the work of theologians, such as St
Thomas Aquinas and St John Paul II. Further chapters consider
dignity within Renaissance art and sacred music. The volume shows
that dignity is also a contemporary issue by analysing situations
where the traditional understanding has been challenged by
philosophical and policy developments. To this end, further essays
look at the role of dignity in discussions about transhumanism,
religious freedom, robotics and medicine. Grounded in the principal
Christian traditions of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, and
Protestantism, this book offers an interdisciplinary and
cross-period approach to a timely topic. It validates the notion of
human dignity and offers an introduction to the field, while also
challenging it.
