All Rise: Somebodies, Nobodies, and the Politics of Dignity

More about the book

Exploring the concept of rankism, this sequel delves into the social and psychological impacts of power dynamics where some individuals dominate others based on rank. Robert Fuller advocates for a "dignitarian" society that respects individual dignity without abolishing ranks. This approach emphasizes that all people, regardless of status, deserve equal dignity, positioning it as a foundation for creating fair and just societies. Fuller's insights aim to foster tolerance and equality, steering away from utopian ideals while promoting a more realistic vision for social harmony.
