Summary:Human dignity and universal human rights are key concepts in the democratic world of the second half of the twentieth century and have shaped the consciousness of Western individuals to this very day. This book's main theme, however, is lost human dignity. Lost human dignity is introduced as identity marker defining the motivation of an individual or a (smaller (or larger)) group of individuals to take drastic, retaliatory measures against the force that deprived her/him of her/his dignity and, furthermore, what lost dignity could mean for an individual's sense of identity.
