Yet we can see appeals to dignity being made on opposing sides of many controversial issues. So, what does the notion of \u201cinherent human dignity\u201d actually mean? And how does (or should) dignity inform legislation or legal rulings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>To address these and other vital questions, Barry W. Bussey and Angus J. L. Menuge have edited a profound, two volume collection, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/anthempress.com\/the-inherence-of-human-dignity-pb\">The Inherence of Human Dignity<\/a><\/em>, which speaks to the philosophical and practical dimensions of human dignity, past and present. These two books have just been released and are available to order now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Synopsis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Volume I seeks to clarify our understanding of various historical and contemporary concepts of human dignity. It examines the meanings of the term \u201cdignity\u201d before looking at the philosophical sources of dignity and both religious and secular attempts to provide a grounding for the notion. It also compares the merits and defects of older and newer concepts of dignity, including extensions of dignity to animals or machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Volume II seeks to understand the work dignity may do as a foundation for law, how it is related to religious liberty, and how we should adjudicate religious liberty disputes at the individual and corporate levels. What is the status of religious liberty as a component of human dignity, and how is it to be balanced with other individual rights, such as freedom of expression? And finally, to what extent can the law adjudicate corporate religious claims?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"758\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cover-vol-2.jpg?resize=501%2C758&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cover-vol-2.jpg?w=501&amp;ssl=1 501w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cccc.org\/news_blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cover-vol-2.jpg?resize=198%2C300&amp;ssl=1 198w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe political and legal battle over how we understand human dignity is right at the heart of the comprehensive crisis that is rocking the advanced modern world to its foundations, and there is no better scholarly exploration of that concept than the work published in these two invaluable volumes.\u201d (Greg Forster, Trinity International University, USA)<\/p><p>\u201cThe Inherence of Human Dignity, Vol. 1 and 2, deserves a wide readership.
