This paper has two main purposes. One is to make it clear that the concept of human dignity is treated indirectly and ambiguously due to the absence of an ethical approach in the section ‘Guarantee of Human Rights and the Constitution’ unit of <Integrated Society>. The other is to propose content elements of the concept of human dignity by combining Kant and Nussbaum’s ethical thoughts that might be used in the developmental reconstruction of the ‘Guarantee of Human Rights and the Constitution’.
Although the idea of human dignity itself has intrinsic uncertainty, more cohesive forms of explanation are available from the curriculum’s standpoint about human dignity. As a basic work for the developmental reconstruction of the ‘Guarantee of Human Rights and the Constitution’, this article extends the traditional paradigm of differentiating between the initial and the realized dignity through Kant’s ethical thoughts, which is the core justification base of the concept of human dignity. And this is further embodied through Nussbaum’s Capabilities Approach, based on the vulnerability of the human body, which emphasizes the actualization of human dignity in daily life. In light of the foregoing, the last chapter suggests the content elements of the concept of human dignity and explores how to restructure the ‘Guarantee of Human Rights and Constitution’.
