Kant e a noção de pessoa

Abstract

An important perspective of the kantian practical philosophy is: only rational beings are susceptible to dignity, and man becomes the mark of this value. The reason relates each maxim of the will with all the other wills and all the actions to us own. This doesn’t happen by virtue of any other reason or future advantage, but because of the own idea of dignity of a being that does not obey other but the self-legislated law. Nothing is equal to a man, except other man. Therefore, in the conviviality of the freedoms, men are due to respect each other in all individuality. Morality is the only condition that can make rational beings an end in themselves. Thus, morals and humanity are the only things that have dignity. The objective of this work is to understand the practical formulation developed by the philosopher in the exclusive attribution of dignity to the person’s statute.
