Philanthropic dimensions of human dignity and human rights.
The place of human dignity as the cornerstone of the foundations of the modern human rights project is both self-evident and highly ambiguous and contested. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent international human rights instruments repeatedly invoke human dignity generically as the only consensually identifiable basis from which human rights derive. This role of human dignity – both essential and problematic – mirrors the virtues and vulnerabilities of the universal human rights project in general. Deliberately founded on a diverse practical consensus rather than a unified and coherent intellectual, historical or cultural vision, human rights intentionally eliminate any explicit engagement with natural law or any other philosophical framework.
