Nearly all philosophers refer to Kant when debating the concept of
dignity, and many approve of Kant's conception, unaware of the
tensions between Kant's conception and the modern idea of dignity
intimately connected to the idea of human rights. What exactly is
Kant's conception of dignity? Is there a connecting tie between
dignity and the legal sphere of human rights at all? Does Kant's
concept refer to a superior status human beings seem to own in
comparison to non-rational beings? Or does it refer to an absolute
value? The contributions of this volume are organised in five
broader topics. In the first section tensions within the Kantian
conception of dignity are discussed (C. Horn, D. Birnbacher, G.
Schoenrich). The second group of articles illuminates the intimate
connections between dignity and human rights (R. Mosayebi, M.
Kettner). The third group discusses the prevailing moral conception
of dignity (S. Yamatsuta, S. Shell, O. Sensen). The fourth group
focuses on the relation of dignity and end in itself (T. Hill, D.
Sturma, A. Wood). The central theme of the fifth group of
contributions are the social, political, and cultural dimensions of
dignity (Y. Kato, K. Ameriks, K. Flikschuh, T. Saito).
