Title: Neither beast nor God
Description: "In Neither Beast nor God, Gilbert Meilaender elaborates the philosophical, social, theological, and political implications of the question of dignity, and suggests a path through the thicket. Meilaender traces the ways in which notions of dignity shape societies, families, and individual lives. He cuts through some of the 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."--BOOK JACKET.
