SANDOVAL SARRIAS, Andrés. The notion of human dignity in the Colombian Constitutional Court. An alternative look from Martha Mussbaum. Derecho glob. Estud. sobre derecho justicia [online]. 2016, vol.2, n.4, pp.15-39. Epub 12-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-5136. https://doi.org/10.32870/dgedj.v0i4.1.
In this article I will realize an approach to human dignity concept from the appropriation that Political Constitution of Colombia in 1991 and the interpretations done by Constitutional Court in its Sentences. I will hold the Court’s interpretation of the concept dignity has its roots in the Kant’s understanding of dignity; then I will stablish a dialogue between Court’s interpretation of dignity in Kant and the understanding of dignity in Nussbaum’s conception. I will argue: a) the understanding that makes the Court of the concept of dignity is insufficient for complex cases. b) It is possible to establish a sense of human dignity from an alternative source Kantianism if we defend the Aristotelian essentialism mode. c) Thus the alternative interpretation suggested by Nussbaum may be more appropriate for the tutelary veredicts of the Colombian Constitutional Court.
