About this episode
In this episode, Andrea Pin discusses his book 'Dignity in Judgment' and the role of human dignity in contemporary constitutional law.
In this episode of Legal Spirits , I speak with Andrea Pin about his new book, Dignity in Judgment , and the role of human dignity in contemporary constitutional law. We explore competing understandings of dignity—a secular, autonomy-based view and a more communal conception influenced by religious traditions—and consider how courts choose between them. Along the way, we discuss why the secular view appears to dominate in practice and how judicial formation shapes the meaning of dignity in constitutional adjudication. The post Legal Spirits 077: Dignity in Judgment appeared first on LAW AND RELIGION FORUM .
