摘要
尊严是康德道德哲学中一个重要的概念。康德在继承古典优越性的意义上使用尊严这一概念,并将其视为理性存在者所拥有一种绝对价值和内在价值。前者是一种源始意义上的尊严,表现出平等性的属性;后者是一种实现了意义上的尊严,表现出差异性的属性。尊严的根据在于自律。可以说,康德的尊严观在尊严思想的发展史上是一个沟通古典与现代的桥梁。
Dignity, as an essential concept in Kant's moral philosophy, is defined as an absolute value or an inner value possessed by rational beings. Kant uses it first in the traditional sense expressing the meaning of sublimity or elevation. When he regarded it as an absolute value, he use s it in the initial sense which implies the meaning of equality, while when he regarded it as an inner value, he used it in the realized sense, with the meaning of diversity. For Kant, the only ground for dignity is autonomy. To some extent, Kant's conception of dignity is a bridge connecting the traditional paradigm and the modern one.
