To treat some human beings as less worthy of concern and respect
than others is to lose sight of their humanity. But what does this
moral blindness amount to? What are we missing when we fail to
appreciate the value of humanity? The essays in this volume offer a
wide range of competing, yet overlapping, answers to these
questions. Some essays examine influential views in the history of
Western philosophy. In others, philosophers currently working in
ethics develop and defend their own views. Some essays appeal to
distinctively human capacities. Others argue that our obligations
to one another are ultimately grounded in self-interest, or certain
shared interests, or our natural sociability. The philosophers
featured here disagree about whether the value of human beings
depends on the value of anything else. They disagree about how
reason and rationality relate to this value, and even about whether
we can reason our way to discovering it. This rich selection of
proposals encourages us to rethink some of our own deepest
assumptions about the moral significance of being human.
