She considers the relationship between dignity and respect, the ways in which shame and humiliation can constitute dignity violations, and the links between dignity and human rights. Departing from the dominant conception of dignity as an inherent feature of all human beings, Killmister instead ties dignity to personal and social standards. She argues for a tripartite theory-comprised of personal dignity, social dignity, and status dignity-in which dignity is to be understood in terms of the norms to which we hold ourselves and others. This revised understanding opens the door to a rich exploration of the moral significance of dignity, and the ways in which dignity can be violated, frustrated, or destroyed. These fresh insights can then help us understand the distinctively dignitarian harms that are inflicted on people when they are tortured, humiliated, or disrespected. Killmister concludes by offering a novel account of human rights, one that is built upon the idea that the 'human' in human rights should be interpreted as a socially constructed category. 650 0 $a Dignity. 650 0 $a Respect. 650 0 $a Human rights. 650 7 $a Dignity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00893760 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Respect. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01095688 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015435.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ECCDE162B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
