The global expansion of dignitarian politics has left dignity without a stable set of meanings or referents, unsettling contemporary economies of life and power.Engaging anthropology, theology, and bioethics, Bennett grapples with contemporary efforts to mobilize human dignity as a counter-response to the biopolitics of the human body, and the breakdowns this has generated. To do this, he investigates how actors in pivotal institutions —the Vatican, the United Nations, U.S. Federal Bioethics—reconceived human dignity as the bearer of intrinsic worth, only to become frustrated by the Sisyphean struggle of turning its conceptions into practice.Just Ideas (FUP)Respect for personsBioethicsHuman rightsBioethics.Commission on Human Rights.Human Dignity.President's Council on Bioethics.Vatican II.anthropology.biopower.human rights.Respect for persons.Bioethics.Human rights.179.7Bennett Gaymon, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1071136DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996478971703316Technicians of Human Dignity2565943UNISA01841oam 2200433Ia 450 991069743460332120081110112435.0(CKB)5470000002388598(OCoLC)180703856(EXLCZ)99547000000238859820071105d2007 ua 0engurmn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierWater quality in the upper Anacostia River, Maryland[electronic resource] continuous and discrete monitoring with simulations to estimate concentrations and yields, 2003-05 /by Cherie V.
