Glenn Hughes explores the existential foundations of these concepts in this structured and accessible study about the experience of being human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHughes locates human dignity within the philosophical, political, and historical horizons of human culture. Guided by Eric Voegelin and Bernard Lonergan, literary and artistic examples, and his own Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist writings, Hughes unfolds and accounts for human dignity's place in our world. He additionally utilizes key moments of our modern era to frame our understanding of human dignity, paying close attention to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that was created by the United Nations following World War II. Ultimately, Hughes's meditation is concerned both with exploring the maximally differentiated set of insights into the meaning of being human and with articulating why the discovery of equality of inherent dignity in every person--without exception--is a profound and rare achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268209960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268209964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Glenn Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46795549933823,"sku":"9780268209964","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bce94ec7-f4f2-41bc-a2d4-0bd44d484944.jpg?v=1744947948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inherent-human-dignity-glenn-hughes-9780268209964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
