La evolución de la dignidad humana en la modernidad. Una perspectiva desde Kant, Arendt y Byung Chul-Han.

Abstract

This document addresses the evolution of human dignity from a historical and philosophical perspective to understand the changes it has undergone over time and how it has impacted human rights. Its main objective was to examine how the notion of human dignity has been interpreted and applied in different sociocultural and normative contexts to clarify its continuity and how it has differed from previous understandings. The methodology was qualitative and based on documentary analysis. It was necessary to review historical, philosophical, and even legal sources that have studied this concept in diverse eras and traditions of thought. It delves into the role of dignity in contemporary societies, exploring its relationship with current debates on social justice. It finds that human dignity is a concept that has evolved in response to philosophical and political changes, thus becoming perceived as an essential principle for the defense of human rights, leading to an equitable society.
