Abstract

The basic assumption of the paper is that the Romanian curricula reflects the opportunities created at the social level to embrace the values' principle of human dignity and to defend it as a defining value of contemporary civilisation. Firstly, looking for the curricula where the value is a topic and secondly, to interview the graduate students on what they learned in their education on the human dignity. Only some of the higher education syllabi in the programmes such as political sciences, theology, law and bio-ethics for medicine or philosophy open some windows to understand the deep implications of the value in our concrete life. But, even here, the human dignity's communication is incoherent. These programmes do not share a basic meaning and conclude into comparable recommendations. The human dignity's communication is also out of a project, systematically conducted, reported and adapted to the community's needs. The education must take action in doing it.
