European classicists and scholars specializing in modern and contemporary philosophy explore how the contemporary formulation of respect is the result of a process of theoretical reflection with roots in classical antiquity and incorporates the aims of philosophers like Plato and Aristotle and ideas like shame, rational agency, ethical virtue, justice, reciprocity, moral equality, and abidance by the law. They consider respect in ancient Greek poetry and the works of Plato and Aristotle; respect in modern philosophy, with discussion of Thomas Hobbes and Immanuel Kant; and the evolution of respect from modern to contemporary philosophy, with discussion of Georg . Hegel, John Stuart Mill, John Rawls, and Michael Walzer. Some essays are drawn from a conference on "Dignity, Respect, and Self-Respect. Ancient, Modern, and Contemporary Perspectives," held in Bologna, Italy, in May 2014. Annotation ©2019 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
