Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Comparing the five cases of judicial interpretation of human dignity, the chapter argues that the notion of dignity has undergone significant transformations: courts have often equated it with an individualistic understanding of autonomy and self-determination, which has sometimes lent itself to extreme subjectivism. This approach has become the standard narrative—a secularized notion of dignity removed from its religious connotations—though those with a Christian background—Canada, Colombia, and the European Union—have experienced a much wider, more explicit rupture from religion than have Egypt and Israel. Through this process, which has often reflected the thinking of Immanuel Kant and Ronald Dworkin, courts have created dualism between the autonomy-centred concept of dignity and the intangibility-centred notion of sanctity that retains a religious component. However, this process has been controversial and ostensibly selective. The judicial trajectory has probably made dignity narrower and more manageable but also highly contentious and even divisive.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
