Description
Humanity Without Dignity: Moral Equality, Respect, and Human Rights by Andrea Sangiovanni presents a radical alternative to traditional views on human dignity. The author argues that our commitment to basic equality is rooted not in the idea of an intrinsic capacity for rational thought or love, but rather in a rejection of cruelty. Sangiovanni's approach shifts the focus from what we have in common as human beings to why it is wrong to treat others as inferior. By examining this fundamental shift, he sheds new light on our understanding of human rights and the norms of anti-discrimination that underlie them. This thought-provoking work challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about dignity, equality, and respect. Hardcover, 308 pages, published in 2017 by Harvard University Press.
