Dwyer's Anthropology: A question renewed

Jim Dwyer's work has been discussed recently on MOJ here, here, here, here, and here.

Jim, thank you for weighing in on poverty, and I am still hoping that you will favor us with your views about the nature of the human person – its origins, purpose, and destination.  In other words, I would like you to make your anthropological assumptions explicit.  Who or what is the human person that she is entitled to life, autonomy, respect, etc.?  It seems to me that we cannot begin a discussion of rights of human children until we have a clearly articulated hypothesis of what a human being is.

I think your answers to these questions might sharpen our focus and help us at MOJ to address the critics of CLT who wonder what CLT is good for.

Thanks in advance,  Michael
