Those features are usually studied as if they were the results, in the history of Western thought, of the progressive recognition of the human moral value.

Thus, the basic features of each (current and previous) pattern are analyzed in order to show that the contemporary paradigm of human dignity as little in common with the previous paradigms of dignity.
