Zgodovinski temelji sodobne paradigme človekovega dostojanstva

Abstract

Historical Foundations of the Contemporary Paradigm of Human Dignity --- The contemporary idea of human dignity is undoubtedly a reflection of the influences of different historical periods, which have particularly left their mark in the development of this idea. The article is based on recent scientific findings differentiating between the modern paradigm of human dignity and the traditional paradigm of human dignity typical of previous historical periods. Recent literature suggests that the adoption of international human rights documents, indicating the inherent character of human dignity, represents the beginning of a new era in the development of the human dignity concept. The author emphasizes the relevance of the Enlightenment for the development of this concept. However, it is also shown that the contemporary paradigm of human dignity has paved its own way, moving away from the Enlightenment ideas of human dignity.
