Annotation
Kant’s concept of “dignity” as a normative starting point in thematizing the indivisibility of human rights is a key but still under-analyzed issue. The reflection on this relationship will be in two perspectives raised by E. Tugendhat: firstly, its anchoring in the principle of the relations of individual and collective autonomy, secondly, the elaboration of this normative starting point against the background of the ambivalent relationship of the right to property with the right to life.
