Human Dignity and the Autonomy of Law

Bag om Human Dignity and the Autonomy of Law

This book intertwines two major themes in contemporary legal theory ¿ the concepts of human dignity and the problem of the autonomy and limits of the law ¿ while also addressing two other key aspects ¿ the first one concerned with human rights practices and foundations (in their direct connections with the issue of dignity), the second one considering the role that the law¿s aspirations attribute to the experience of an autonomous subject-person (and the demands that identify his/her position in the dialectical counterpoint with the rethinking of a community). The diversity of perspectives that each of these themes allows is explored in various contexts and with unmistakable implications concerning juridical validity, rule of law practices, pluralism, political and practical-cultural challenges, and divisive ¿bio-ethical¿ issues. This means considering the separation or separability theses between law and morality and the juridically relevant experience of person(hood) as a dialectic between autonomy and responsibility, the orthodox and heterodox images of comparable concreteness and incomparable singularity, the challenges of external points of view and interdisciplinary approaches.
