Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the theme of human dignity. Human dignity is one of the key terms used to describe the characteristics of a life worth living. Special attention is dedicated particularly to the following, based primarily on Slavic authors’ views: 1. The theme of memory (autobiographical memory), as one of the important conditions and frameworks for thinking about dignity; 2. The theme of the crisis of human dignity, and its direct implications to political and social events in Central Europe and the Western Balkans during the so-called post-Socialist era. The text describes one of the possible approaches to the complex and ambiguous subject matter.
