讨论人类尊严的一个关键方面是确立其标准,人类特有的标准。该标准应有效地与其他生物建立基本和结构上的区别。最初,我们的重点是生物学家努力区分人类和其他物种,强调物理方面。然而,身体和遗传差异缺乏作为尊严标准的必要特征。随后,我们在人类行为中探索了这个标准的概念。然而,鉴于行为源于人类的思想,事实证明,它不适合作为尊严的标准。因此,我们的探索使我们探索人类的智慧。然而,因为智慧,像其他能力一样,作为改善生活的工具,在某种程度上存在于其他动物中,事实证明,作为一个标准是不够的。我们已经确定,区别特征在于选择或自由意志的力量,将人类与其他生物区分开来,这些生物的行为完全是本能的或由需求驱动的。因此,自由选择是尊严的基础,根据所做的选择将价值分配给选择器。
One of the critical aspects in discussing human dignity is the establishment of its criterion, a standard unique to humans. This criterion should effectively create a fundamental and structural distinction from other creatures. Initially, our focus was on the endeavors of biologists to differentiate the human species from others, emphasizing the physical aspects. However, physical and genetic differences lack the necessary characteristics to serve as a criterion for dignity. Subsequently, we explored the notion of this criterion in human behavior. Yet, given that behavior stems from human thought, it proves unsuitable as a criterion for dignity. Thus, our quest led us to explore human wisdom. However, since wisdom, like other abilities, serves as a tool for improved living and is present to some extent in other animals, it proves inadequate as a criterion. We have determined that the distinguishing characteristic lies in the power of choice or free will, setting humans apart from other living beings whose behavior is solely instinctual or driven by needs. Consequently, free choice forms the foundation of dignity, assigning value to the chooser based on the choices made.
