Abstract:

The paper aims at emphasising the significances of the concept of dignity through the lens of the relational character of this concept. Even though it appeared in modernity as substantive/essence, as an autonomous state that might be attached to man – and it was developed in the frame of methodological individualism –, dig-nity is a construct depending on the historical and social relations, thus the culture and values dominant in a cer-tain time. And, because the consideration of the others is assumed by the individual who internalises the inter-twining and force of values in the way he seems to not detach his own being from dignity, the paper demon-strates that, although there is an ontological basis of dignity – the human conatus– the concept of dignity is in-comprehensible without connect it to, or more, without integrating it within the social complex.
