Undoubtedly, one of the foundations of the philosophy of human dignity and human rights today is humanistic views. Humanism is a Western perspective that places humans at the center of its reflections and gives primacy to human growth and development. This perspective has grown increasingly since the 18th century and has been reflected in various areas of human life. In the religious field, this perspective has been reflected in three forms: religious humanism, anti-religious humanism (atheist), and secular humanism. In general, contemporary humanism, although it has a more secular aspect (secularism) and is not very tolerant of monotheistic religions; nevertheless, in terms of comparison, points of agreement and compatibility can be observed and analyzed. One of the points of agreement, about which important discussions have taken place today, is the issue of "human dignity", which has attracted the attention of all humanists; But it should be noted that the interpretation of human dignity from the perspective of religious humanists, anti-religious, and agnostics is very different. The present article, written in a descriptive-analytical manner and using library resources, and with the belief that humanistic approaches exist and can be explored in the texts of Abrahamic religions, especially Islam, will focus on the issue of human dignity. Accordingly, the finding of the present study is that according to Islamic teachings, man is addressed with the phrase “We have honored the children of Adam,” which has given him a unique characteristic and perhaps other characteristics, such as the vicegerent of God, the trustee of God, can be redefined under human dignity. In any case, in this article, an attempt is made to explore the various dimensions of human dignity with an interpretative and philosophical perspective and with a humanistic approach; in order to provide a basis for achieving a rational and even a vehicle (jurisprudential) rule for human dignity. |
