What are the origins of the idea of human rights and universal human dignity? How can we most fully understand-and realize-these rights going into the future? In The Sacredness of the Person, internationally renowned sociologist and social theorist Hans Joas argues that human rights are the result of a process of "sacralization," in which every single human being has increasingly been viewed as sacred.
