Asian Perspectives on Human Dignity

BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY-HAWAII, LAIE, HAWAII, USA

Co-sponsored by the International Center for Law and Religion Studies, BYU-Hawaii Faculty of Business and Government-Political Science, and The Religious Freedom & Human Dignity Initiative at BYU-Hawaii.

The goal of this conference is to provide an opportunity for a small group of scholars to expand our understanding of how human dignity is addressed from a variety of Asian perspectives. Scholars from various Asian countries will present papers at the conference to help us appreciate how human dignity is understood in systems of thought as well as from cultural and societal perspectives. We anticipate that the papers prepared for this conference will be published as a book.
