The article discusses the legal, historical, philosophical, cultural and religious aspects of the dignity of the individual as the most important and significant legal category. The author uses the methods of historical legal, comparative legal, sociocultural analysis of modern law in order to identify the role and significance of this legal category in the law of various states, as well as in international law. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the national idea of Russia and the value of personal dignity represent the realization of the general spiritual and moral Christian principle of “love for one’s neighbor”.
