Technicians of Human Dignity: Bodies, Souls, and the Making of Intrinsic Worth

by Gaymon Bennett

Book Overview

Technicians of Human Dignity traces the extraordinary rise of human dignity as a defining concern of religious, political, and bioethical institutions over the last half century and offers original insight into how human dignity has become threatened by its own success. The global expansion of dignitarian politics has left dignity without a stable set of meanings or referents, unsettling contemporary economies of life and power.
