Respect for human dignity and the limits of power available to each person regarding their own existence have become major issues in the Western world. The aim of this international seminar is to bring new ideas to the contemporary debate on human dignity in life and death in Europe and America in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. To do this it is necessary to analyze the philosophical principles and historical events that have helped shape the current views on questions as human dignity, social justice and human rights, as well as their treatment by public opinion in Western countries. We will also study the practice of the distributive justice in our world and how to reduce the inequalities in the organizations and the basis of a social and economic system based in the ethical principle of equality and respect for human rights.
