"Human Dignity and The Law: A Personalist Theory"
This book reassesses the relationship between human dignity, law, and specifically the 鈥榩ersonalist鈥� school of agency.
The work argues that a specific way of appreciating dignity is contained in how the law understands the person, and so can be used to improve upon how we explain and interpret the law. Despite considerable differences between jurisdictions as regards human dignity in the application, it is argued that the particular weight of human persons is the widely shared focal point. The central claim, therefore, is that the law recognizes, and tries to foster, the status of personhood, and, drawing on the work of Karol Wojty艂a, the author develops a 鈥楽tatus of Personhood Theory鈥�.
The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Legal Philosophy, Jurisprudence, Philosophy, Ethics and Political Theory.
