Colin Bird (University of Virginia)

Human Dignity and Political Criticism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Few deny the political importance of the value of human dignity, but many today are sceptical that it has more than rhetorical significance. This book retrieves the idea of human dignity as a vital political value, and shows how, and in what form, it is at stake in politics.
