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. 546 In English. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 13, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Equality|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85044503|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005065 650 0 Human rights|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008105895 650 0 Dignity|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85037992|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005065 650 7 Equality|xPhilosophy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 914467 650 7 Equality.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/914456 650 7 Human rights|xPhilosophy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/963307 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xDiscrimination & Race Relations.|2bisacsh 650 7 Dignity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/893760 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xMinority Studies.|2bisacsh 650 7 Philosophy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1060777 650 7 PHILOSOPHY|xPolitical.|2bisacsh 650 7 Human rights.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0000652 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1527404|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
