Abstract:

It was during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that the concept of human dignity began to pivot more firmly towards the notion of egalitarian moral worth that it now represents. This essay focuses on the relationship between the generations as an important place to look for markers of societal attitudes about the meaning of dignity or its absence. A valuable site of discovery is the early modern letter of advice, passed between parents and children or, in some cases, across three generations. The category of intergenerational relationship analysis is increasingly an important focus of study within the health humanities, a category of particular use in improving social cohesion and wellbeing and, therefore, community flourishing.

摘要：

正是在 16 和 17 世纪，人类尊严的概念开始更加坚定地转向它现在所代表的平等主义道德价值的概念。本文重点关注代际之间的关系，将其作为寻找关于尊严的含义或缺失的社会态度的标志的重要场所。一个有价值的发现地点是早期的现代建议书，它在父母和孩子之间传递，或者在某些情况下，跨三代传递。代际关系分析这一类别越来越成为健康人文学科研究的一个重要焦点，这一类别特别适用于提高社会凝聚力和福祉，从而促进社区繁荣。
