Renowned ethicist Huber finds, even apart from the gross brutalities of crime and war, more subtle and covert violence in childrearing, family intimacy, schools, entertainment and competitive sports. Huber shows how the constant, everyday disregard of human dignity is a root of violence in all spheres, how the inviolability of dignity is the one absolutely necessary premise of countering violence, and how we can become personally vigilant in the service of human dignity.
