Robert Kraynak and Glenn Tinder contend that the major challenge of
our time is to recover a true and authentic understanding of human
dignity and to defend it against threats from modern civilization.
In Defense of Human Dignity wrestles with the dilemma that
contemporary society has developed a heightened sensitivity to the
demands of human dignity while creating radically new dangers to
humanity in the form of the totalitarian state, modern technology,
genetic engineering, the practical ethics movement, and radical
environmentalism. Representing diverse viewpoints, the authors of
this volume explore what is meant by "human dignity" and related
notions, such as the "sanctity of life." The authors not only
defend human dignity - drawing upon principles from Kantian ethics,
theories of human rights, the Bible, and Christian theology - they
also examine the limitations and problems of misguided conceptions
of human dignity.The inspiration for this volume is the publication
twenty years ago of the Covey Lectures by Glenn Tinder under the
title Against Fate
