Recenzii
Pablo Gilabert's Human Dignity and Human Rights is an extraordinarily welcome book for at least two related reasons. The first is that the book is, taken simply as a piece of philosophical argumentation, an excellent one ... [S]econd ... it is a forceful defense of both human dignity and human rights, at a time when activists of both the left and the right have grown skeptical of such moral notions.
deep, ambitious, and wide-ranging
Pablo Gilabert's book Human Dignity and Human Rights offers a bold and fascinating account of the claim that human rights are grounded in human dignity. His dignitarian approach to human rights is both philosophically sophisticated and politically ambitious.
Gilabert develops a powerful and plausible theory of human dignity ... As Gilabert explains, dignity is made to serve various ends, or to 'do' various things, within [human rights] practice. ... Gilabert's theory manages to imbue human dignity with all of these attributes without collapsing into emptiness, superficiality, or incoherence, which is an impressive feat in its own right. He also presents his account in accessible, lively prose, and with characteristic learnedness, creativity, and philosophical rigor. The result is an invaluable contribution to the understanding of a fraught and confusing topic.
Gilabert does an admirable job of defending the idea of human dignity as an important idea in human rights practice, and in making the case that philosophers should pay more attention to it.
