• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

The object of the authors’ considerations is the concept of the dignity of a disabled person. The paper presents various ways of understanding the notion of dignity in philosophy and Christian theology, focusing on its individual and social aspects. The dignity and equality of all human beings are emphasized in many international legal acts. Nonetheless, it is often claimed that the dignity of people with disabilities is endangered. We describe some theories which concern the concept of the dignity of these people: 1) regarding people with disabilities as exceptional, with special dignity, 2) the ideas of personalization, 3) inclusion, 4) normalization, and 5) emancipation. It is concluded that in the humanist vision the dignity of a person with disabilities is one of the most essential values.
