Humiliation, Degradation, Dehumanization
Author: Paulus Kaufmann
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9048196612
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Degradation, dehumanization, instrumentalization, humiliation, and nonrecognition – these concepts point to ways in which we understand human beings to be violated in their dignity. Violations of human dignity are brought about by concrete practices and conditions; some commonly acknowledged, such as torture and rape, and others more contested, such as poverty and exclusion. This volume collates reflections on such concepts and a range of practices, deepening our understanding of human dignity and its violation, bringing to the surface interrelationships and commonalities, and pointing to the values that are thereby shown to be in danger. In presenting a streamlined discussion from a negative perspective, complemented by conclusions for a positive account of human dignity, the book is at once a contribution to the body of literature on what dignity is and how it should be protected as well as constituting an alternative, fresh and focused perspective relevant to this significant recurring debate. As the concept of human dignity itself crosses disciplinary boundaries, this is mirrored in the unique range of perspectives brought by the book’s European and American contributors – in philosophy and ethics, law, human rights, literature, cultural studies and interdisciplinary research. This volume will be of interest to social and moral philosophers, legal and human rights theorists, practitioners and students.

Author: Richard H. Perry
Publisher: Essence Pub
ISBN: 9781553065951
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Of the Last Days is a unique Bible study on the return of Jesus Christ and the end of an age. Perry presents a clear and descriptive picture of the last days, interpreting the Gospel at face value, believing God means what He says.After years of biblical study, he has found that God has provided in Scripture all we need to know in order to understand about Christ's soon return. He believes the Word of God answers many of the biblical mysteries regarding the last days, including: . When the last trumpet will sound. Who restrains the secret power of lawlessness.. How and when we will be able to confirm the identity of the Antichrist. God's timing for the First Resurrection and rapture of the ChurchThe most important message of this study is that in these last days we must test everything by examining Scripture to see what is true. The Bible warns us in these last days that we will not put up with sound doctrine. Those who fail to follow the clear commands and warnings of the Lord Jesus Christ will be prone to deception. We are told to test everything-including the contents of this study.
