Description: This work is to be understood from the systematic perspective as an extension of John Rawls Theory of Justice . Constituting a normative vanishing-point, the individuals moral self-respect is placed at the centre of the theorys justification. Starting from the thesis that self-respect presents itself as the highest good, the book defends a number of fundamental moral rights that need to be realized legally, economically, culturally, and politically so that a person can maintain her self-respect.
