About this book

In this collection of original papers, twelve distinguished philosophers and legal thinkers focus on the relationship between our constitutional rights and human dignity. Marking the 1991 bicentennial of the Bill of Rights and honoring Associate Justice William Brennan, Jr., they seek to sharpen our sense of what is meant by human dignity as they explore the role of the concept in constitutional decision making.
