UPHOLDING HUMAN DIGNITY: UNRAVELING PHILOSOPHICAL ROOTS AND REAL-WORLD IMPLICATIONS IN LEGAL DIALOGUES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the pivotal role of human dignity in shaping legal norms and principles. Beginning with its philosophical origins, including perspectives from Kant and Aristotle, we explore how human dignity is incorporated into legal theory and jurisprudence. Through case studies and analyses, we investigate its practical implications across various legal contexts. By synthesizing insights from philosophy, law, and ethics, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the foundational principles that underpin our conception of rights and justice within society.
