Abstract
It is a challenge to talk about values and a provocation to call them 'valid'. But it is necessary when human dignity is at stake. Freedom. love, truth and life determine and protect this dignity. The highest vaue is life; when it is threatened, one loses the experience of dignity. Mere autonomy going beyond value-oriented freedom an threaten life, physically and psychologically. If we do not respect our livelihoods, we threaten them. Genuine love of one's neighbour prevents tolerance from turning into populist, intolerant ideologies. Dignity as the standard for our coexistence gives rise to hope. Therefore, this book invites us to think, feel and act responsibly fo a life 'in fullness' (John 10:10).
