With in-depth country studies complemented by thematic investigations of dignity's religious and cultural significance across the region, this book is ambitious in scope and exceptionally well executed. By setting legal decisions and political reforms against the backdrop of cultural, economic, religious, and social traditions and shifts, Hsu and his contributors demonstrate that human dignity has been and continues to be a central tenet of legal culture throughout Asia. This is essential reading for anyone interested in how the law reflects and protects human dignity.'

It encompasses rigorous scrutiny of dignity jurisprudence in major Asian apex courts, detailed philosophical analysis of dignity in religious traditions, and contextualized socio-political analysis of religious dignity discourse in several Asian societies. This is an innovative systematic survey of how human dignity is understood in Asia, demonstrating how those understandings converge and diverge with other parts of the world. Synthesising legal, philosophical, and sociological expertise, this volume furthers the dialogue between Asia and the West, and advances debates on whether human rights are universal or particular to any one region. As many of the world's liberal democracies are challenged by polarization and populism, this comparative study of human dignity broadens our horizons and offers a potential alternative to a rigidified social imagination.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction.
