505 0  Part one. Foundations: Against dignity -- Moral equality, 
       respect, and cruelty -- Why and when is discrimination 
       wrong? -- Part two. Human rights: The concept of human 
       rights: the broad view -- International legal human rights
       and equal moral status -- Fundamental rights, 
       indivisibility, and hierarchy among human rights. 
520    Liberalism and our modern allegiance to human rights rest 
       on a foundational commitment to moral equality. But why, 
       given our differences, must we always treat one another as
       equals? Most who have attempted to answer this question 
       have appealed to the idea of dignity, the idea that all 
       human beings possess an intrinsic worth--grounded in 
       capacities, for example, to reflect, reason, or love--that
       raises us up in the order of nature. In Humanity without 
       Dignity, Andrea Sangiovanni rejects this predominant view 
       and offers a radical alternative. He argues that, to 
       understand our commitment, we must begin with a 
       consideration not of equality but inequality. Rather than 
       search for a chimerical value-bestowing capacity possessed
       to an equal extent by each one of us, we ought to ask: Why
       and when is it wrong to treat others as inferior? He comes
       to the conclusion that our commitment to moral equality is
       best explained by a rejection of cruelty rather than a 
       celebration of rational capacity. He then traces the 
       impact of this fundamental shift for our understanding of 
       human rights, and the place of anti-discrimination norms 
       in that understanding.--|cProvided by publisher.
