This special issue delves into the profound and evolving concept of justice and dignity, exploring their significance in human life. What exactly do we mean by human dignity? How do we understand and interpret this essential notion? How has it evolved over time?
The authors of this collection of papers engage in a thoughtful exploration of these questions, shedding light on the foundational roles of justice and dignity in practical philosophy. They argue that human dignity must be understood as the right to be recognized as a participant in the institutional practice of human and fundamental rights. This modern conception of dignity emerged as a response to a crisis in the modern model of the practice of rights, particularly in the aftermath of Auschwitz.
The authors further examine how this concept of human dignity was incorporated into the practice of human rights after Auschwitz. They explore examples of misinterpretation of the philosophical term and historical concept of human dignity in contemporary legal theory and practice, alongside Kant's notion of human dignity, which is understood as a novel "care of the self." The authors examine self-violation of dignity and the exposure to violation by others, thoughtlessly or intentionally, and explore the language of anti-violence activists, university coordinators, and due process activists concerned with Title IX and campus sexual violence.
This edited collection provides a comprehensive look at historic and contemporary meanings of human dignity, making it an appealing read for scholars interested in the intersection of dignity with philosophy, law, human rights, legal theory, social theory, and more. The authors offer insightful perspectives and thought-provoking arguments, contributing to our understanding of these essential concepts and their role in shaping our world.
