Eine Art zu leben

Dignity is the highest good of man. But what do we actually mean when we speak of dignity? Peter Bieri's long awaited new book is about this central theme of our lives. Human dignity cannot be grasped by a single term. Bieri therefore approaches it as an observer: using examples from everyday life and literature, the Swiss philosopher develops an idea of dignity that depends on how we treat others and ourselves. Dignity, it turns out, is not an abstract quality, but a certain way of living. In wonderfully clear language Bieri develops his philosophy: a true school of life.
