- Abstract:
- Dignity is something that virtually all people want. It is the original expression of the human experience, gaining credibility through the convergent demands of people around the world. Nevertheless, the concept of human dignity is in unhelpful disarray. Dignity is variously viewed as an antecedent, consequence, value, principle, and experience from philosophical, legal, pragmatic, psychological, behavioral, and cultural perspectives. Which of these conceptions of human dignity is more relevant to global, common interests, both as a point of convergence and as a diagnostic of policy, pedagogical practice? The author's focus is on four broad themes: dignity as 1) a metaphysical grounding of human rights and responsibilities, 2) virtuous behavior, 3) perspectives of the «other», and 4) the subjective experience of the individual. It is recommended that dignity be viewed as a set of individually valued well-being, shaped by relationships with others, influenced by the physical world, and framed in terms of values. From this perspective, the idea of dignity corresponds to the priorities of both individualistic and communitarian cultures.
