Paperback. Focused at the theoretical level, this volume seeks to clarify our understanding of various historical and contemporary concepts of human dignity. It examines the various meanings of the term 'dignity' before looking at the philosophical sources of dignity and both religious and secular attempts to provide a grounding for the notion.

The first of two volumes, Foundations of Human Dignity focuses on foundational, conceptual issues, oriented around the central question, "What are the various meanings of 'human dignity,' and how are they grounded or justified?"
