What is dignity? Where does it come from? What does it mean for each of us? Is it possible to regain lost dignity? Swiss-German philosopher and writer Peter Biri describes dignity as an experience and a problem of life in its most important moments and in its everyday life. The author reveals the spectrum of ideas about dignity, analyzing its nature in a multivoiced orchestration of stories, parables, and intellectual play. Drawing on examples from his own life, from world literature, from cinema, the author engages the reader in a dramatic search for an answer to the existential experience of the threat to human dignity, a search for balance based on self-knowledge and self-determination. The book aims to protect and find one's own dignity in a society of blurred moral values and disregard for the individual.
