RESUMEN El presente artículo se propone analizar la noción kantiana de dignidad (Würde) en la Fundamentación de la metafísica de las costumbres, tomando como punto de referencia el debate interpretativo entre el convencionalismo (standard reading) y el revisionismo (revisionist reading). Se mostrarán los elementos centrales de cada interpretación, así como las bases textuales que las justifican. Después, se expondrá el debate en torno a la idea de “valor interior absoluto” y se mostrará que una mejor manera de entender la noción kantiana de dignidad se ubica en una posición alternativa a ambas visiones: el denominado constitutivismo. Se explicará que, además de evitar las dificultades de las otras interpretaciones, el constitutivismo es la manera más apropiada para entender la relación que la dignidad guarda con otras nociones fundamentales del sistema ético kantiano, concretamente, la autonomía y el reino de los fines. Palabras clave: dignidad, revisionismo, convencionalismo, constitutivismo, valor. ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the Kantian notion of dignity (Würde) in the Groundwork of the metaphysics of morals, taking as reference point the interpretative debate between the standard reading and the revisionist reading. The main features of each interpretation will be shown, as well as the textual bases that justify them. Afterwards, the debate will focus on the idea of “absolute internal value” and will be argued that a better way of understanding the Kantian notion of dignity is the alternative position regarding to what both readings hold: the so called constitutivism. It will be explained that, besides avoiding the difficulties of the other interpretations, constitutivism is a more appropriate way to understand the connection of dignity with other fundamental notions of the Kantian ethical system, specifically, autonomy and kingdom of ends. Key words: dignity, revisionist reading, standard reading, constitutivism, value.
