Killmister's book provides a fresh and stimulating conception of dignity. It opens the door to novel and, I think, productive ways of theorizing about a diverse array of dignitarian and related moral phenomena. . . . moral philosophers will benefit from considering the theoretical possibilities opened up by her account, as I have.
Suzanne Killmister received her PhD in 2010 from the University of Melbourne. Since then she has taught at Massey University, the University of Connecticut, and Monash University.
