The dignity of the subject of human rights

In 1985, UNESCO published Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights after ordering the construction of the book to the International Institute of Philosophy. As honorary president of the Institute, Paul Ricoeur was invited to draw up a philosophical synthesis of the collective work, formed from the contributions of authors from different continents and different schools of thought. In this book, Paul Ricoeur's article on the philosophical foundations of human rights is at the service of reading, examination and ranking the responses of others. Throughout this book, there is not any study devoted to the question of the dignity of the subject of human rights. In this article, we hope to contribute to filling this gap in the light of the philosophy of Paul Ricoeu
