Abstract: The article addresses the projection of human dignity in the genesis of cooperativism and its relation to the affirmation of personality rights. The general objective is to examine the relationship between the emergence of cooperativism in the nineteenth century and the construction of personalist values that would later be incorporated into the legal system as personality rights. The specific objectives are: a) to examine the historical process that gave rise to cooperativism; b) to verify how human dignity was contemplated through cooperative practices; and c) to relate the historical experience of cooperativism to the future protection of personality rights. The results indicate that cooperativism, by adopting principles such as self-management, solidarity, and equality, anticipated values that would later be consolidated as personality rights, even before their formal recognition in the legal order. Cooperatives were not limited to an economic function but also promoted inclusion, democratic participation, and the moral development of their members. Thus, they proved to be instruments of affirmation of dignity and of the construction of foundations for the present and future protection of personality rights. The methodology employed was the deductive method, combined with a narrative literature review, allowing for the establishment of connections between the historical experience and the contemporary normativity of human person protection.
