Abstract
Man's ethical fulfilment often faces objective obstacles in the deprivation of rights. The negation of the recognition of certain fundamental rights, or worse, the radical misrecognition of man, which translates into different forms of violence, often artfully disguised both on an individual and collective level, produces devastating consequences in the private life of a person upsetting all forms of positive self-esteem. The recognition of human qualities, accompanied by the right to express and extend them, is an integral part of the ethical life of each individual and, at the same time, constitutes a fundamental moment in the construction of a responsible civilized community. In this dissertation, I aim to analyse the connection between ethical life and human rights in order to draw attention to the repercussions that the recognition and misrecognition of liberty produce with regard to man's ethical fulfilment. From this perspective, I intend to highlight the importance of the existence of favourable juridical and institutional conditions to ensure ethical fulfilment. At this level, I will underline that the deprivation of capabilities is often the main cause of the profound sense of discontent affecting individuals in their desperate attempt to realise a type of existence which corresponds to their ambitions.

Self-fulfilment, born of personal growth, is attained within one's inner being, but it can not occur outside the civil community or without experiencing challenges. It is through debate and dispute with the collective, in the plural sense, that an individual can enhance self-awareness and the sense of belonging in the world in order to best pursue an ideal of the “good life”
In order to put into concrete terms the answer to the ethical question “how should one live?”, the possibility and the conditions to be at liberty to pursue one's ideal of a good life need to exist to realise the type of life which satisfies one's ambitions
Summary
Self-fulfilment, born of personal growth, is attained within one's inner being, but it can not occur outside the civil community or without experiencing challenges It is through debate and dispute with the collective, in the plural sense, that an individual can enhance self-awareness and the sense of belonging in the world in order to best pursue an ideal of the “good life”. All ethics centre on this interrogative which constitutes the point of departure and return This question intimately deals with the conscience of an individual and arises out of self-examination. Ethical fulfilment is placed on an individual level, but exists on an interpersonal level through multiple relations with the collective Such inter-personal relations can either be direct, in other words with people one knows, or relating to the institutions. Since the “good life” is related to the problem of justice, it depends on the sphere of the institutions
