Newspapers daily document the violence that rends our times. Who
can account for its relentless pervasion? Why is it also found
fascinating or gripping? What is wrong with societies that produce
it? Answers are elusive and fragile, renowned ethicist Huber
believes. For, even apart from the gross brutalities of crime and
war, he finds more subtle and covert violence in childrearing,
family intimacy, schools, employee relations, entertainment, and
competitive sports. Huber shows how the constant, everyday
disregard of human dignity is a root of violence in all spheres,
how the inviolability of dignity is the one absolutely necessary
premise of countering violence, and how we can become personally
vigilant in the service of human dignity. Huber's clear, sweeping
creed articulates principles of a planetary ethos, a public
theology for rebuilding personal and political culture rent by
violence.
