Yet we insist that such diversity does not provide grounds for differential treatment at the most basic level. Whatever merit, blame, praise, love, or hate we receive as beings with a particular past and a particular constitution, we are always and everywhere due equal respect merely as persons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut why? Most who attempt to answer this question appeal to the idea that all human beings possess an intrinsic dignity and worth--grounded in our capacities, for example, to reason, reflect, or love--that raises us up in the order of nature. Andrea Sangiovanni rejects this predominant view and offers a radical alternative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo understand our commitment to basic equality, \u003ci\u003eHumanity without Dignity \u003c\/i\u003eargues that we must begin with a consideration not of equality but of 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? Sangiovanni 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 traces the impact of this fundamental shift for our understanding of human rights and the norms of anti-discrimination that underlie it.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.4 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 26, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248417628467,"sku":"9780674049215","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/tbwQ4MvDs-9780674049215.webp?v=1776311456","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/humanity-without-dignity-moral-equality-respect-and-human-rights-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
