Hardback. Why are all persons due equal respect? Andrea Sangiovanni rejects the view that human dignity is grounded in our capacities for reason, love, etc. Rather than focus on the basis for equality, we should focus on inequality: Why and when is it wrong to treat others as inferior? Moral equality, he writes, is best explained by a rejection of cruelty. Num Pages: 286 pages. BIC Classification: HPS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 23 x 15. .
