| Sumario: | For the present time, the concept of human dignity is
not under discussion at all, and the author remarks that
foundations of such a dignity must be settled by Metaphysics,
the Science of being as being. On the contrary, nowadays we
have accustomed to focus just on the anthropologic point of
view, which conslders that human dignity lies on man’s rational
nature. But the author explains that from the metaphysical
point of view, the human dignity is double: on the one hand, the
dignity of rational nature, on which every human being subsists,
and that is common to all members of humankind; on the other
hand. the dignity of participating in the Being ttself, perfection
that sets up human being in the category of substantia, the most
important of all categories. So the ultimate reason for human
dignity is the Being itself in which human being takes part, and
by means of which he subsists on his specific nature.
