Abstract:

The Russian Orthodox document on human rights, adopted in 2008, develops a concept of human dignity which enables the connection between human rights and Christian morals. However, this position leads to internal contradictions. Within the concept of human dignity, a distinction between its causal function and its double empirical dimension as respect for the dignity of the other (human rights) and as life in accordance with one's own dignity (morals) has to be made.
