Abstract

Dignity underlies much philosophical debate, but the concept and its place in a broader theory of justice have received renewed analytic attention of late. In this article, I examine several recent books on dignity: Human Dignity and Political Criticism, by Colin Bird; Human Dignity and Human Rights, and Human Dignity and Social Justice, both by Pablo Gilabert; Contours of Dignity by Suzanne Killmister; and Humanity Without Dignity: Moral Equality, Respect, and Human Rights, by Andrea Sangiovanni. As I outline, each book develops and defends a position in an established disagreement between so-called ‘Naturalistic’ views, which hold that dignity inheres in natural properties, and ‘Conventionalist’ perspectives, which hold that dignity is socially defined. With these contemporary accounts in mind, I expose the contours of this disagreement and suggest that further work should focus on developing a hybrid conception of dignity consistent with Naturalism and Conventionalism.

尊严的回归
尊严是许多哲学争论的基础,但近来这一概念及其在更广泛的正义理论中的地位再次受到分析界的关注。在本文中,我将对最近几本关于尊严的书籍进行研究:科林-伯德(Colin Bird)的《人的尊严与政治批判》;巴勃罗-吉拉贝特(Pablo Gilabert)的《人的尊严与人权》和《人的尊严与社会正义》;苏珊娜-基尔米斯特(Suzanne Killmister)的《尊严的轮廓》;以及《没有尊严的人类》:Andrea Sangiovanni 著的《道德平等、尊重和人权》。正如我所概述的,每本书都在所谓的 "自然主义 "观点和 "传统主义 "观点之间的既定分歧中发展并捍卫了自己的立场。"自然主义 "观点认为尊严是自然属性的固有组成部分,而 "传统主义 "观点则认为尊严是由社会界定的。考虑到这些当代观点,我揭示了这一分歧的轮廓,并建议进一步的工作应侧重于发展一种符合自然主义和传统主义的混合尊严概念。

期刊介绍: The European Journal of Political Theory provides a high profile research forum. Broad in scope and international in readership, the Journal is named after its geographical location, but is committed to advancing original debates in political theory in the widest possible sense--geographical, historical, and ideological. The Journal publishes contributions in analytic political philosophy, political theory, comparative political thought, and the history of ideas of any tradition. Work that challenges orthodoxies and disrupts entrenched debates is particularly encouraged. All research articles are subject to triple-blind peer-review by internationally renowned scholars in order to ensure the highest standards of quality and impartiality.
