Introduction to the issue of personal dignity of the working human being

The topic of the article is the concept of personal dignity and the dignity of a working human being. The author presents the meaning of the term of personal dignity and distinguishes it from other similar meanings. The historical construction of the meaning of the concept of dignity is presented, which the author criticizes. The article arrives at the determination of the meaning of the term of personal dignity as an expression of the superiority of the human species over other known categories of entities. In this context, the author links the notion of dignity with the labour part of human life and distinguishes the notion of dignity of the working human being, which links the notions of employee, employer and other entities.
