Human Dignity in Asia

"Human Dignity in Asia" is an academic book that explores the diverse interpretations of human dignity and human rights in Asia. By employing interdisciplinary methods, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of dignity jurisprudence in the highest courts of Asia, as well as an in-depth philosophical examination of human dignity across various religious traditions. Furthermore, it investigates the discourse on religious dignity in several Asian societies within the context of their social and political circumstances. This innovative systematic study highlights how the concepts of human dignity in Asia exhibit both similarities and differences compared to other regions of the world. The work combines legal, philosophical, and sociological perspectives and fosters dialogue between Asia and the West, while advancing the debate on the universality or regionality of human rights. In light of the challenges faced by many liberal democracies, this comparative study offers new perspectives and approaches for flexible societal thinking.
