The term dignity has many meanings. This is because it refers to a very rich reality, which can be viewed from different perspectives. Among these different meanings, highlights the understanding of dignity as an ethical and legal principle, which is the foundation of bioethics and biolaw. The purpose of this paper is to analyse this view of dignity. To do so, will be explained briefly the personist and utilitarian conceptions of the notion of dignity. Finally, as an alternative to the inadequacies of these views, it will be proposed an ontological conception of human dignity.
“尊严”一词有多种含义。这是因为它指的是一个非常丰富的现实,可以从不同角度看待。在这些不同含义中,突出了将尊严理解为一种伦理和法律原则,这是生物伦理学和生物法学的基础。本文的目的是分析这种对尊严的看法。为此,将简要解释尊严概念的个人主义和功利主义观念。最后,作为这些观点不足之处的替代方案,将提出一种人类尊严的本体论观念。
