论权利之于尊严的意义

Legal Rights and Human Dignity

实践中利益导向的权利理论暴露出结果主义的危害,对提升人的尊严产生负面影响。为此,必须澄清权利本质,正确认识权利之于尊严的意义:正是平等的权利制度确立了人的尊严的基础;权利作为主体间的承认关系,构成人的尊严的实质内容;权利的有效主张,保证了人的尊严的实现。因此,要让人民生活得更有尊严,就必须正视利益要素在权利理论中的地位;还权于民,实现权利配置科学化;革新公民的责任意识。

The interest-oriented legal rights theory have been causing practical problems,one of which is the harm of human dignity.By clarifying the nature of legal rights,we will understand the true meaning of legal rights to human dignity.From the historical point of view,the formation of equal rights system lays the foundation for human dignity.As the reciprocal recognition of human beings,legal rights contain the same content of human dignity.Because of the effective enforcement of legal rights,we can achieve our dignity.However,we should make it clear that the interests are not the goal of legal rights.What should we do is to give more legal rights to our citizens,and to raise the awareness of the responsibilities accompanied with legal rights.
