This book argues that human dignity and law stand in a privileged
relationship with one another. Law must be understood as limited by
the demands made by human dignity. Conversely, human dignity cannot
be properly understood without clarifying its interaction with
legal institutions and legal practices. This is not, then, a survey
of the uses of human dignity in law; it is a rethinking of human
dignity in relation to our principles of social governance. The
result is a revisionist account of human dignity and law, one
focused less on the use of human dignity in our regulations and
more on its constitutive implications for the governance of the
public realm. The first part conducts a wide-ranging moral, legal
and political analysis of the nature and functions of human
dignity. The second part applies that analysis to three fields of
legal regulation: international law, transnational law, and
domestic public law. The book will appeal to scholars in both
philosophy and law. It will also be of interest to political
theorists, particularly those working within the liberal tradition
or those concerned with institutional design.
