The foundation of human rights: dignity or autonomy?
Main Article Content
Abstract
The main thesis of the work is that dignity can be considered as the foundation of all human rights, without this implying relegating the other two great values of the Enlightenment: equality and autonomy. This is so because the author understands that the normative nucleus of human dignity consists, on the one hand, in the right and obligation that each one has to develop himself as a person and, on the other hand, in the obligation to contribute to the free development of all others.
