Bennett, Gaymon author. Technicians of Human Dignity : Bodies, Souls, and the Making of Intrinsic Worth / Gaymon Bennett. Fordham University Press 2016 New York : Fordham University Press, 2016. 1 online resource (334 p.) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Description based on print version record. Technicians of Human Dignity traces the extraordinary rise of human dignity as a defining concern of religious, political, and bioethical institutions over the last half century and offers original insight into how human dignity has become threatened by its own success. 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- re-conceived human dignity as the bearer of intrinsic worth, only to become frustrated by the Sisyphean struggle of turning its conceptions into practice.This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched.
