The concept of human dignity is used as a flag under which people fight for freedom, equality, and decent living conditions; as a foundational concept for human rights; and as a right that protects core elements of human identity and integrity absolutely. The concept is also used to reinforce specific claims for freedom and equality rhetorically without contributing to the solution of the conflict at hand. But the concept also bridges the gaps between the different usages; it expresses their overlap; and as a Sehnsuchtsbegriff it brings together people who long for a better and fairer world. In human dignity discourse lawyers bring legal problems and philosophers’ reflections on what humans are and owe each other—under a secular premise. Theologians rarely reflect on the dangers for human dignity within the church and similar institutions resulting from hierarchy and control, unequal treatment of women and others, celibacy, paternalism and seclusiveness.
