Human dignity in instruction of John Paul II

Summary/Abstract: Considered from the legal and ethnical point of view, the rule of human dignity is a universal monument of human being. Human dignity belongs to everybody in a substantial, equal and inseparable way, and also independently from different special attributes. Human dignity is a consequence of the way of a human being existing. By presenting the Christian way of perceiving a human being, John Paul II mentions three aspects pointing at the sources of human dignity: the human origin, the liberation given by God through Jesus Christ and given by God invitation to take part in His life. For the Pope, the human being - in its shortest description – is a visual representation of invisible God. John Paul II considers also human dignity in the scope of social life. He claims that only morality, which is based on the rules obligatory for everyone and in all times, forms the ethnical foundation of social life, based on justice and due respect towards every human being. Human being is the object and aim.
