康德尊严视阈中的人

Human Beings in Kant's Concept of Dignity

康德尊严的概念为理解人以及如何对待人提供了一个新的维度——无限价值和不可替代的价值。无限价值来源于人的共同属性,即理性、自我意识、设定目的的能力或者普遍意义上尊重他人的能力;不可替代性则以非属性为基础,人基于不可言说的主体性而拥有不可替代的价值。康德的尊严概念确认了人的两个维度,即普遍性与独特性。当个体不能享受与他人平等对待时,或者当个体不被当作不可替代的独特个体时,其尊严都处于危机之中。因此,将人的尊严仅仅理解为所有人都平等这一理念无疑是对康德尊严观的误读。

Kant＇s concept of dignity has offered a new dimension for understanding and treating human beings --infinite value and non-substitutability value. The former comes from people＇s common properties： rationality, self-awareness and the ability to set their goals and respect others in a general sense, non-substitutability is based on non-attribute, people possess the non-substitutability value based on the unspeakable subjectivity. Kant＇s concept of dignity has established people＇s two dimensions： generality and uniqueness. When individu als cannot be equally treated, and cannot be regarded as non-substitutability, their dignity is at risk. Therefore, there is no doubt that it is a misunderstanding of Kant＇s concept of dignity to interpret human dignity as that everyone is equally treated.
