The concept of human dignity is important for understanding discussions of rights, religion, and society in contemporary China. While the neoliberal idea of “public reason” abstracts human rights from cultural particularities and religious convictions to provide an idea of universal rights, human dignity includes these social and cultural elements to provide an account of human rights in social context. Classical conceptions of political virtue, which can be found in both Chinese (Confucian) and Western (Aristotelian) traditions, provide a background for understanding human dignity and thus offer some guidance for this contemporary task
