Rationality, Markets and Morals

Studies at the Intersection of Philosophy and Economics

 

Ernesto Garzón Valdés

In order to ana­ly­ze what can plau­si­bly be said about the rela­ti­onship bet­ween digni­ty, human rights, and demo­cra­cy, I will pro­po­se a basic assump­ti­on about human digni­ty (I) and then for­mu­la­te five the­ses con­cer­ning the jus­ti­fi­ca­ti­on of demo­cra­cy (II) which will allow me to con­clude (III) that only when human rights are con­sti­tu­tio­nal­ly estab­lished and effec­tively imple­men­ted demo­cra­cy can be theo­re­ti­cal­ly and prac­ti­cal­ly jus­ti­fied as a poli­ti­cal means to gua­ran­tee human dignity.
