“The cultural and political conflicts in the contemporary world have much to do with the clash of the senses of dignity in different cultures. When the Jihad suicides attacked the western civilians, they might have acted out of the belief that this was the way to vindicate their own dignity, while their attacks obviously devastated the dignity and basic rights of the victims. It seems paramount that, in order to guarantee the world peace, justice, and prosperity, the governance of a harmonious “global village” requires a global constitutional order based on the moral discourse of human dignity. Such discourse may not produce a universally agreed understanding of human dignity, but it will help to improve consensus and reduce tensions among nations of different cultures.” DignityXenophobiaEnmityPeace By Other Means Book:Human Dignity in Classical Chinese Philosophy: Confucianism, Mohism, and Daoism Source: Human Dignity in Classical Chinese Philosophy: Confucianism, Mohism, and Daoism
