This search can take place in different ways - in this book through academic studies in theology ethics and education. Human dignity relates to human rights which are also explored here moreover perspectives from gender and postcolonial theory inform the studies. The reflection on human dignity ends in a discussion of education making the book a resource in addressing contemporary value issues in education. This collection of lectures articles and papers covers a cer tain time period. In the texts particular themes recur which contributes to continuity and coherence. The focus of more recently written chapters takes the discussion in new directions.
