Degradation, dehumanization, instrumentalization, humiliation, and
nonrecognition - these concepts point to ways in which we
understand human beings to be violated in their dignity. Violations
of human dignity are brought about by concrete practices and
conditions; some commonly acknowledged, such as torture and rape,
and others more contested, such as poverty and exclusion. This
volume collates reflections on such concepts and a range of
practices, deepening our understanding of human dignity and its
violation, bringing to the surface interrelationships and
commonalities, and pointing to the values that are thereby shown to
be in danger. In presenting a streamlined discussion from a
negative perspective, complemented by conclusions for a positive
account of human dignity, the book is at once a contribution to the
body of literature on what dignity is and how it should be
protected as well as constituting an alternative, fresh and focused
perspective relevant to this significant recurring debate. As the
concept of human dignity itself crosses disciplinary boundaries,
this is mirrored in the unique range of perspectives brought by the
book's European and American contributors - in philosophy and
ethics, law, human rights, literature, cultural studies and
interdisciplinary research. This volume will be of interest to
social and moral philosophers, legal and human rights theorists,
practitioners and students.
The relation between Hegel and Marx is among the most interpreted
in the history of philosophy. Given the contemporary renaissance of
Marx and Marxist theories, how should we re-read the Hegel-Marx
connection today? What place does Hegel have in contemporary
critical thinking? Most schools of Marxism regard Marx's inversion
of Hegel's dialectics as a progressive development, leaving behind
Hegel's idealism by transforming it into a materialist critique of
political economy. Other Marxist approaches argue that the mature
Marx completely broke with Hegel. By contrast, this book offers a
wide-ranging and innovative understanding of Hegel as an
empirically informed theorist of the social, political, and
economic world. It proposes a movement 'from Marx to Hegel and
back', by exploring the intersections where the two thinkers can be
read as mutually complementing or even reinforcing one another.
With a particular focus on essential concepts like recognition,
love, revolution, freedom, and the idea of critique, this new
intervention into Hegelian and Marxian philosophy unifies the
ethical content of Hegel's philosophy with the power of Marx's
social and economic critique of the contemporary world.
