  1. Nature of dignity and human dignity.Vasil Gluchman - 2017 - Human Affairs 27 (2):131-144.
    This paper argues that the concept of dignity should be understood as a concept that we use to describe an aggregate of values and qualities of a person or thing that deserves esteem and respect. The primary value that creates the right to have dignity is life. The degree of dignity a life form has depends on its place in the evolutionary scale. Human beings are the highest form of life so they possess the highest degree of dignity.

  • Putting Humans First? [REVIEW]Nathan Nobis - 2006 - Journal of Ayn Rand Studies 8 (1):85 - 104.

Graham and Nobis argue that Machan's work fails to resist pro-animal moral conclusions that are supported by a wide range of contemporary ethical arguments.
