What does it truly mean to be human, and beyond that, what does it mean to be a good human? In the latest episode of The Question Of, Princeton professor Robert P. George takes up the enduring question of human dignity, a concept that has occupied philosophers, theologians, and moral thinkers for generations. George unpacks the crucial distinction between innate human dignity, the inalienable worth we possess simply by virtue of being human, and the more fragile, culturally contingent sense of dignity that can be gained or lost. He argues for a renewal of faith and reason, one that helps us recover a shared moral vision grounded in the equal dignity of every human person. Further, how does this understanding of human dignity shape how to live in ways that allow us to flourish as rational, moral creatures and to honor the profound worth of one another?
