Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
What do medieval knights, suicide bombers and "victimhood culture" have in common? Betraying Dignity argues that in the second decade of the twentyfirst century, individuals, political parties and nations around the world are abandoning the dignitybased culture we established in the aftermath of two world wars, less than a century ago. Disappointed or intimidated, many turn their backs on the humanitarian, universalistic culture that presumes our inherent human dignity and celebrates it as the basis of every individual's equal human rights. Instead, people and nations are returning to a much older, honorbased cultural structure. Because its ancient logic and mentality take new forms (such as social network shaming and certain aspects of "victimhood culture") we fail to recognize them, and overlook the pitfalls of the old honorbased structure. Narrating the history of honorbased societies, this book distinguishes their underlying principle from the postWWII notion of dignity that underlies human rights. It makes the case that in order to revive and strengthen dignitybased culture, the concept of human dignity must be defined narrowly and succinctly, and enhanced with the principle of respect. Continuing its historical and cultural narrative, the book discusses contemporary phenomena such as alQaeda terrorists, shaming via social network, FoMO, and some features of the emerging "victimhood culture". The book pays homage to Erich Fromm's classic Escape from Freedom.
