But these appeals suggest different and at times even contradictory ways of understanding the term. Is dignity something we all share equally and therefore the reason we all ought to be treated as equals? Or is dignity what distinguishes some greater and more admirable human beings from the rest? What notion of human dignity should inform our private judgments and our public life?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eNeither Beast nor God\u003c\/em\u003e, Gilbert Meilaender elaborates the philosophical, social, theological, and political implications of the question of dignity, and suggests a path through the thicket. A noted theologian and a prominent voice in America's bioethics debates, Meilaender traces the ways in which notions of dignity shape societies, families, and individual lives. He incisively cuts through some of the common confusions that cloud our thinking on key moral questions. The dignity of humanity and the dignity of the person, he argues, are distinct but deeply connected-and only by grasping them both can we find our way to a meaningful understanding of the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilbert Meilaender\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641775203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641775205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Encounter Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Gilbert Meilaender","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852678639871,"sku":"9781641775205","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neither-beast-nor-god-gilbert-meilaender-9781641775205","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
