Summary/Abstract: Human dignity as the “value of value” occurs in the centre of interests of humanities and the remaining sciences towards anthropological leaning. The term “human dignity” is ambiguous. And except for that fact, “the dignity rhetoric,” which is undertaken quite often, causes the inflation of that notion. The complex issue of a person’s dignity and the attempts of questioning it over and over, indicate the need of methodological consideration over the discussed view and emphasizing its meaning for the scientific theory and practice, including pedagogical one. The following problematical fields: the term and notion (meaning) of dignity, the dignity definition, the types of dignity, the ways of authorized thesis about the human dignity and the functions of “the human dignity” term are presented in the article. The enumerated implications concerning the statement that a human possesses the dignity close the entire analysis.
