Human Dignity of existing human persons is the inviolable dignity of human beings for being human beings. For the living, there is greater concurrence of such “dignity of human persons” in constitutional theory and practice of constitutional democracies with guaranteed fundamental rights protected by the constitutional court working in an open society. The anthropological function of this dignity of human persons when they are dying or when they are dead is much more variegated and contested. This “social fact” of contested terrain includes the political processes deriving from the culture of the location which is not a constitution-free zone. This paper explores this dynamic location of the sociology of law for the concept of dignity of human persons in a comparative context. Thus, it becomes an exercise of kulturverfassungsstaat, or cultural constitutional law as a conceptual tool, along with systems theory for its openness to “social fact”, to create the autopoietic legal system with an inner-concentric circle of the systems of human dignities which gets encrypted in constitutional law through its own binary codes of communication media. The very nature of this article is comparative both in the concepts employed and principles developed. Its unique application would be tested on the Indian legal landscape and the conclusions reached would be a contribution from the Indian legal landscape advancing legal scholarship.
Abstract
Human Dignity of existing human persons is the inviolable dignity of human beings for being human beings. For the living, there is greater concurrence of such “dignity of human persons” in constitutional theory and practice of constitutional democracies with guaranteed fundamental rights protected by the constitutional court working in an open society. The anthropological function of this dignity of human persons when they are dying or when they are dead is much more variegated and contested. This “social fact” of contested terrain includes the political processes deriving from the culture of the location which is not a constitution-free zone. This paper explores this dynamic location of the sociology of law for the concept of dignity of human persons in a comparative context. Thus, it becomes an exercise of kulturverfassungsstaat, or cultural constitutional law as a conceptual tool, along with systems theory for its openness to “social fact”, to create the autopoietic legal system with an inner-concentric circle of the systems of human dignities which gets encrypted in constitutional law through its own binary codes of communication media. The very nature of this article is comparative both in the concepts employed and principles developed. Its unique application would be tested on the Indian legal landscape and the conclusions reached would be a contribution from the Indian legal landscape advancing legal scholarship.
