Resumen de Menschenwürde, Selbstbestimmung und Pluralismus: Zwischen sittlicher Vorgabe und deontologischer Konstruktion
Thomas Gutmann, Michael Quante
The notion of human dignity fulfils different normative functions, making demands on heterogeneous resources for justification. After a short summary of Kant's concept of dignity and its meta-ethica/ content which defines "Kantianism", we will deal with three prob/ ematic aspects of the Kantian concept of dignity and provide a sketch of its (limited) reception in the German Constitution. Then we will present an ascriptivistic concept as an alternative to the Kantian one and discuss its limitations.
