Thesis advisor: Jeffrey Bloechl / According to Catholic social doctrine, there are two principles which serve as foundational pillars of social thought and action: the dignity of human being and the primacy of the common good. Each human person has unique and endless worth in the eye of God, since “God created each human person in His image, in the image of God he created humankind, male and female. He created them” (Genesis, 1: 27). God creates all things and wanted them to participate in His glory and happiness (well-being). Thus, by their nature, all human beings want to be happy. To reach happiness is “something final and self-sufficient and the end of our actions” (NE 1097b20), but we should not forget that by nature man is a part of the greater order. How can one defend both the dignity of the human person and the primacy of the common good? To defend the dignity of human person the first question must be answered what is meant a human person, since the ways in which we understand ourselves as persons have direct effects on the ways in which we organize ourselves collectively in the political communities. To answer what is a human person we will understand how Maritain makes the distinction between individual and person, and what it is that constitutes a human person. It leads to understand the whole human being, soul and body, is a person. Man is as a part of the greater order. According to Aristotle and followed by Aquinas, every creature is only a part of the whole perfection of the universe, just as one instrument in an orchestra is a part of the whole perfection of the harmony. “Society is a whole composed of persons is to say that society is a whole composed of wholes” (Evans and Ward, The Social and Political Philosophy of Jacques Maritain, p. 85). Because the relationship between the common good and the dignity of the human person is the relationship of our dignity of finality and our dignity of nature. We distinguish between the human acts and the acts of human being in order to understand the notion of Aquinas’s the human act. Then, we will understand why Maritain defends natural law as an antidote for a secular society and present crisis of pluralist society. According to Maritain, the deepest result of the crisis from the modern to the present time is man’s natural community in the natural law and his innate ordination to the transcendent as the source of ultimate value have been casted into doubt. Thus, the only appropriate way to reconcile the common good and my good is to turn God into my private good as a kind of a good infinitely shareable, as if there were commensurability between my finite and infinite goodness. To make this reconciliation into the present age, “you must love your neighbor as, like yourselves,” ordered to a common good. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2022. / Submitted to: Boston College.

In the current scenario of ecological crisis and the theme Development of the problem to achieve the aspect of Sustainable depends only on true solidarity mid humans and the Earth. The change is in how Jacques Maritain, in Integral Humanism recognizes and values the person starting from its creation to image and likeness of God, as a project of love and strength, able to compose a new social and environmental structure. The starting point is the concept of Integral Humanism, according to Jacques Maritain plan, whose conception of the human person gives it an Integral Development and calls for a sustainable development / A teoria do Humanismo Integral elaborada por Jacques Maritain e assumida pela Doutrina Social da Igreja e pela ONU na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos como critério de dignidade da pessoa humana individual, coletiva e solidária destaca o homem e suas responsabilidades numa relação sólida com o meio ambiente e a natureza como eixo, finalidade e efetividade do desenvolvimento sustentável. No cenário atual de crise ecológica, o tema e o problema do desenvolvimento, para atingir o aspecto de sustentável, depende de uma verdadeira solidariedade entres os seres humanos e a Terra. A mudança está em como Jacques Maritain, no Humanismo Integral, reconhece e valoriza a pessoa partindo de sua criação à imagem e semelhança de Deus, como projeto de amor e solidez, capaz de compor uma nova estrutura social e ambiental. O ponto de partida é o conceito de Humanismo Integral, segundo o plano de Jacques Maritain, cuja concepção de pessoa humana lhe imprime um desenvolvimento integral e exige um desenvolvimento sustentável

After a brief historical background, in which we seek to contextualize the evolution of human rights on the world stage, we will outline the concepts of human development, the right to development and the right to development. The context of the present research is positive law, understood as the system of juridical norms, organized hierarchically, based on the values that comprise the integral development of the human person and human dignity. Regarding the questions of methodological bias, we highlight the use of the historical slope, the deductive and dialectical method. In the procedural field we used bibliographical and doctrinal, legislative and documentary research. As for the approach will be used the qualitative technique / Esta dissertação de mestrado tem por objetivo buscar a definição e propiciar uma reflexão referente a expressão desenvolvimento humano integral a partir de uma abordagem dos Direitos Humanos.
