‘这本书提供了令人信服的人类尊严概论，这是战后时代的组织宪法思想。超越西方宗教，哲学和宪法，梅和戴利阐述了一种全球性和影响力的想法。任何试图了解满足人类尊严要求的法律秩序的人都会感兴趣。’
– Jacob Weinrib, Queen’s University Faculty of Law, Canada
‘This book is a very complete contribution to the meaning of dignity seen as a universal value and right, with important insights on legal doctrine and policies all over the world. It demonstrates that, inherent to all of us, dignity implies that every single human being must always be treated as a person.’
- 巴黎大学Paul Cassia 1Panthéon-Sorbonne，法国
‘With this Advanced Introduction to Human Dignity and Law, Professors James R. May and Erin Daly deliver a global perspective on this “very important idea”. A mine of legal materials gathered from around the world, this volume brings together essential knowledge on human dignity in a concise and engaging manner. Buzzing with energy, Professor May and Professor Daly's Advanced Introduction is a must read for all those promoting dignity rights, as well as all those curious about the great adventure of humanity and democracy.'
– Catherine Dupré, University of Exeter, UK
‘This book is a timely and methodical overview of dignity law, a concept that has been somewhat neglected in legal discourse and legal theory. And yet dignity is the bedrock of law, as reflected in several international human rights documents and the many constitutions drafted at the end of the last century. The reflections and the arguments raised by James R. May and Erin Daly are particularly prescient at this time, as we emerge from one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. As we strive to reconstitute our lives and the law, James R. May and Erin Daly’s thoughtful perspectives on dignity will serve as a tiller to navigate the stormy waters of reconstruction.’
– Penelope Andrews, New York Law School, US
‘人类迷路了。我们正在造成前所未有的社会生态破坏，同时无情地压迫其他脆弱的人类和非人类生物。我们迫切需要（重新）变得更加谦虚，关怀，共享和无私的同居者。在这项分析中，詹姆斯·R·梅（James R. May）和艾琳·戴利（Erin Daly）教授认为，我们可以通过拥抱尊严的基本价值来做到这一点。他们揭示了尊严作为世界上人类社会的核心价值的重要性，以及尊严如何在法律中表现出来并通过法律促进。最终，这本书显示了将尊严作为核心价值的充分拥抱如何帮助我们再次找到自己的路。’
