The Right of the Soul: An Ontology of Information Pollution
This research aims to chart a new horizon for human rights theory, centered on the "subject breathing here and now". Following the historical trajectory of privacy rights, this study clarifies the philosophical prerequisites of personality rights. It proposes a framework where the invisible "erosion of the soul" is quantified as a geometric area , citing suicide resulting from digital lynching as a primary case study and addressing the existence of "Information Pollution". This work is a deliberate attempt to construct a concrete and impregnable "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.
