The Cambridge handbook of human dignity: Interdisciplinary perspectives

Platsas, Antonios Emmanuel

Abstract

The academic examination of the concept of dignity in the theoretical disciplines is certainly one which has not been as thorough as one may have anticipated. Considering the concept’s centrality for human existence, it would seem that the exploration of the concept has not materialised to date in a way which covers satisfactorily most of the facets thereof. The reviewer, thus, observes that, whilst the concept is covered to a certain extent in the bibliography, this is done in a rather particularistic way, i.e. vis-à-vis certain very specific aspects of human dignity mostly.
