Kritik
"An elegant and subtle exploration of dignity and what it means to lose it."
Nigel Warburton, author of A Little History of Philosophy

"Human Dignity shows a rich and insightful exploration of the idea of human dignity from various angles and at several levels. Bieri carefully distinguishes dignity from other similar looking but really quite different concepts and deals with such important questions as how to live and die with dignity. This is an important book."
Bhikhu Parekh, House of Lords

"An important and beautiful book, thoroughly worth reading."
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitungmehr
