SOME NOTIONS ON THE HUMAN DIGNITY WITHIN THE EASTERN CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY SPACE
Some Notions on the Human Dignity within the Eastern Christian Missionary Space

Summary/Abstract: Any general perspective on the concept of human dignity today comes down to the presentation of this notion from the perspective of the legal values it carries as an reason and foundation of the rights of the person and of the human being. From this perspective, human dignity is presented both as a value and as a right which, in both versions, is equally difficult to define. However, postmodernity admits that the notion of human dignity can be defined ontologically because human beings possess an equal inherent human dignity that cannot be waived and that cannot be diminished. Being inherent to the human being, human dignity must be recognized, respected and protected universally, and its development, permanently encouraged. Because of his dignity, man should never be used as a means to an end, but each undertaken action should aim at the perfection of the human being.
