Abstract
MORALES AGUILERA, Paulina. Between the discursive approach and cyberhumanism: some reflections about fourth generation human rights. Franciscanum [online]. 2018, vol.60, n.169, pp.39-86. ISSN 0120-1468.
A fourth generation of human rights is actually under development that includes, among others, the content of human deployment in light of communication and information technologies within the cyberspace. This article is a reflection of this matter, specifically from the perspective of two readings. On the one hand, as to the possibilities of configuring such prerogatives based on the concept of «discursive rights», from the statements of Jürgen Habermas, but now revisited in this new scenario. On the other hand, from the view of cyberhumanism, which allows to enrich and complement Habermas' prism, given its limitations in the virtual environment. The question for the human rights in the cyberspace demands both a re-reading of existing rights and an elucidation of new prerogatives within the framework of today's technological society.
Keywords : Human rights; fourth generation; discursive approach; J. Habermas; cyberhumanism.
