ASMENS TAPATUMAS by Alphonso Lingis

“…"The category of person, though a lot has been made of it in some moral philosophy, is," Bernard Williams writes, "a poor foundation for ethical thought, in particular because it looks like a sortal or classificatory notion while in fact it signals characteristics that almost all come in degrees - responsibility, self-consciousness, capacity for reflection, and so on. It thus makes it seem as if we were dealing with a certain class or type of creature, when in fact we are vaguely considering those human beings who pass some mark on a scale."1Kant sets aside the ways the term dignity is used in the fullness of conversation and discourse to narrow it down to designate something that is and end in itself. …”
