Abstract
Description
La presente investigación tuvo su origen en la búsqueda de las raíces del concepto actual de dignidad humana. De ahí que el lector pueda ver en este escrito el resultado del análisis sobre dicha noción en uno de los debates más importantes del siglo XVIII, a saber, el que sostuvieron, por un lado, el liberal e historicista Edmund Burke y, por el otro, el liberal e individualista Thomas Paine, el cual tuvo como base las circunstancias que rodearon la Revolución Francesa de 1789. En el curso del texto serán identificadas y confrontadas ambas propuestas, específicamente en lo atinente a la dignidad, tanto la del británico, en el libro Reflexiones sobre la Revolución en Francia de 1790, que está fincada en la defensa de la tradición, la misma que conlleva un gobierno moderado y limitado donde se respetan los derechos que el uso y la costumbre le otorgan al hombre en sociedad; como la del estadounidense, hallada en Derechos del hombre de 1791, para quien la fuente de los derechos y las libertades es la naturaleza propia del hombre fuera de la sociedad, razón por la cual, en ésta solo hay un intercambio de los derechos naturales que en nada pueden afectar el uso y el goce de los mismos.
The present investigation had his origin in the search of the roots of the current concept of human dignity. Hence the reader could see in this writing the result of the analysis on the above mentioned notion in one of the most important debates of the XVIIIth century, to knowing, which they supported, on the one hand, liberal and historicist Edmund Burke and, for other, liberal and individualistic Thomas Paine, who took as a base the circumstances that surrounded the French Revolution of 1789. In the course of the text there will be identified and confronted both proposals, specifically with regard to the dignity, so much that of the Briton, in the book Reflect on the Revolution in France of 1790, which is established in the defense of the tradition, the same one that bears a moderate and limited government where the rights are respected that the use and the custom they give man in society; as that of the American, found in Rights of the man of 1791, for whom the source of the rights and the freedoms is the proper nature of the man out of the society, reason for which, in this one only there is an exchange of the natural rights that in nothing can affect the use and the enjoyment of the same ones.
