  • More about Human Dignity and the Autonomy of Law

This book explores the relationship between human dignity, legal autonomy, and the limits of the law, addressing human rights practices, the role of the law in shaping individual experiences, and the challenges of juridical validity, rule of law practices, pluralism, political and practical-cultural challenges, and bioethical issues.

Format: Hardback
Length: 306 pages
Publication date: 07 December 2022
Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG


This book delves into the intricate interplay between two fundamental themes in contemporary legal theory: human dignity and the challenges posed by the autonomy and limitations of the law. It also explores two other critical aspects: the first one examines human rights practices and foundations, directly linked to the issue of dignity, while the second one considers the role that laws aspire to play in the experience of an autonomous subject-person. Within these themes, a rich diversity of perspectives is explored across various contexts, yielding profound implications for juridical validity, rule of law practices, pluralism, political and practical-cultural challenges, and divisive "bio-ethical" issues.

To delve into this exploration, the book considers the separation or separability theses between law and morality, as well as the juridically relevant experience of person(hood) as a dialectic between autonomy and responsibility. It also examines the orthodox and heterodox images of comparable concreteness and incomparable singularity, the challenges posed by external points of view and interdisciplinary approaches.

By examining these themes in depth, the book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of law, morality, and human rights, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities facing societies in the 21st century. It is a must-read for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the evolving landscape of legal theory and its implications for our world.
