The Right of the Soul: Information Pollution and Digital Lynching

This research aims to chart a new horizon for human rights theory, centered on the "subject breathing here and now". First, following the historical development of rights such as the right to privacy, this study clarifies the philosophical prerequisites of personality rights. By conceptualizing the "Right of the Soul" within a secular framework of legal philosophy as the equivalent of a mathematical imaginary axis (i), it explores the possibility of representing the invisible "erosion of the soul" as a geometric area. Furthermore, it cites suicide resulting from digital lynching as a case study and addresses the existence of "Information Pollution." This work is a deliberate attempt to construct a concrete and inviolable "bulwark" against the systematic, albeit unconscious, dismantling of personhood prevalent in modern society and legal philosophy. Within the history of philosophy, this study redefines the Platonic and Aristotelian concepts of the "soul" as a secular structure through the lenses of phenomenology and neuroscience, presenting a synthetic theory—without ostensible novelty—that serves as a critical ontological foundation for personality rights.

Abstract

This research aims to chart a new horizon for human rights theory, centered on the "subject breathing here and now". First, following the historical development of rights such as the right to privacy, this study clarifies the philosophical prerequisites of personality rights. By conceptualizing the "Right of the Soul" within a secular framework of legal philosophy as the equivalent of a mathematical imaginary axis (i), it explores the possibility of representing the invisible "erosion of the soul" as a geometric area. Furthermore, it cites suicide resulting from digital lynching as a case study and addresses the existence of "Information Pollution." This work is a deliberate attempt to construct a concrete and inviolable "bulwark" against the systematic, albeit unconscious, dismantling of personhood prevalent in modern society and legal philosophy. Within the history of philosophy, this study redefines the Platonic and Aristotelian concepts of the "soul" as a secular structure through the lenses of phenomenology and neuroscience, presenting a synthetic theory—without ostensible novelty—that serves as a critical ontological foundation for personality rights.
