FOUR APPROACHES TO GROUNDING HUMAN DIGNITY
1A Dignity that humans always already have by being a member of the human species: Humans have inherent worth simply because they are human.
1B Dignity that humans always already have based on possession of one or more human capacities: Humans have inherent worth because they are distinctive and special.
2A Dignity that humans can acquire (or lose) through a sense of self-worth: I have dignity when I believe in my own worth.
2B Dignity that humans can acquire (or lose) through moral (or immoral) behaviour: Humans acquire dignity when they behave well in society, but can also lose it when they behave badly.
To be human is to be multidimensional
When you tried to identify some of the qualities or attributes that make us human, you might have come up with some general categories such as the following:
Humans have many dimensions including the physical, emotional, psychological, social, interpersonal, spiritual, sexual, historical, rational, symbolic, creative and moral. All should be considered when thinking of humans as multidimensional. Humans cannot easily be reduced to any single quality or attribute. Being human is a multidimensional reality. Further, different individuals will develop each of these attributes to different degrees (and some, perhaps not at all). To think about being human, we need to take account of this multidimensionality.
Task: 2000 words
Explain why you believe this to be an issue where human dignity is a critical factor.
Analyse at least two perspectives on this particular case.
The following questions should act as a guide in your analysis.
What understanding of the concept of human dignity appears to be at work in each perspective?
What are the social attitudes, norms, or circumstances that may have influenced each perspective? To what extent do these social attitudes, norms, or circumstances impact on the understanding of human dignity in each perspective?
How does each perspective justify particular actions or choices with reference to human dignity?
In this unit, we have considered human dignity and the human person as multidimensional. If you consider in isolation the argument of each perspective in turn, what aspects of human dignity could be jeopardised by any actions arising from those perspectives?
