Dignity is a very important ethical concept, but a dangerously fuzzy one, which puts into question whether and how we can honour our obligations to treat people with dignity! Our new study detangles dignity and respect, by showing dignity has specific ties to humiliation.

What does it mean to treat someone with dignity, as opposed to, say, treating them with respect? This experiment successfully tests the philosophical theory that ties dignity specifically to humiliation. With @andrejevic.bsky.social and Linda Barclay #philosophy journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
