This essay deals with the complex relationship between human dignity and autonomy: a rela- tionship that can be seen as consistency or as conflict. The author maintains that the models that reconstruct the relationship between autonomy and dignity as coherence are prevalent today. However, these models are often incompatible, because they attribute different mean- ings to the terms “dignity” and “autonomy”. The essay argues that the conflict between those models reflects different comprehensive ethical conceptions and it is unsolvable. Moreover, it argues that democracy is precisely a method to take decisions even in front of an unsolvable ethical disagreement.

Abstract
This essay deals with the complex relationship between human dignity and autonomy: a rela- tionship that can be seen as consistency or as conflict. The author maintains that the models that reconstruct the relationship between autonomy and dignity as coherence are prevalent today. However, these models are often incompatible, because they attribute different mean- ings to the terms “dignity” and “autonomy”. The essay argues that the conflict between those models reflects different comprehensive ethical conceptions and it is unsolvable. Moreover, it argues that democracy is precisely a method to take decisions even in front of an unsolvable ethical disagreement.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
