Abstract: (128 Views) |
The development of new technologies has not only led to a redefinition of moral and philosophical concepts about humanity, but also has important consequences for law and social justice. This article conducts a comparative study of the theories of Jürgen Habermas, Francis Fukuyama, and Bruno Latour to analyze how law confronts issues of posthumanism and technology. The aim of this article is to explain the impact of new technologies on individual and social rights and to evaluate the diverse perspectives of these three contemporary thinkers. The analysis shows that Habermas, emphasizing the moral aspects and common human values, emphasizes the need to limit biotechnologies, while Fukuyama is concerned that these technologies will lead to the weakening of human rights and the collapse of global morality. On the other hand, Latour, with a network approach, considers the interactions of humans and technology to be inseparable and believes that law should be redefined in a way that encompasses this mutual relationship. The results of this study show that although Habermas and Fukuyama emphasize maintaining the boundaries of humanity against new technologies, Latour's perspective offers opportunities for redefining rights and laws in a post-humanist world. According to these perspectives, legal systems must evolve in a way that is able to adapt to changes caused by new technologies while preserving human values.
