Human dignity names a value intrinsic to humanity that commons organizing aims to respect.

Evidence

Human dignity, cooperation and solidarity allude to the recognition that all human beings have a special value that is intrinsic to their very humanity and that should be respected and supported (Mele 2012). Commons organizing aims for the common good and human dignity to encourage the development of commons projects that create value for all stakeholders, the “implicit living in the virtue of justice” (Mele 2009, p. 228). — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G.
