On the basis for a foundation of the dignity of the person. A Philosophical perspective

Abstract

This article is a reflection on the concept and content of the dignity of the human person as viewed from different philosophical categories. It intends to make a theoretical foundation to explain the substantial excellence belonging to a person, as a person. The reason behind said reflections make sense today more than ever. This, in the face of a generalized conception of a culture that sees people as disposable items, as opposed to the absolute, inviolable and irreplaceable dignity a person, and its consequences therein.
