This book explores the question of whether the ideal right to
science and culture exists. It proposes that the human right to
science and culture is of a utopian character and argues for the
necessity of the existence of such a right by developing a
philosophical project situated in postmodernity, based on the
assumption of 'thinking in terms of excendence'. The book brings a
novel and critical approach to human rights in general and to the
human right to science and culture in particular. It offers a new
way of thinking about access to knowledge in the postanalogue,
postmodern society. Inspired by twentieth-century critical
theorists such as Levinas, Gadamer, Bauman and Habermas, the book
begins by using excendence as a way of thinking about the
individual, speech and text. It considers paradigms arising from
postanalogue society, revealing the neglected normative content of
the human right to science and culture and proposes a morality,
dignity and solidarity situated in a postmodern context. Finally
the book concludes by responding to questions on happiness, dignity
and that which is social. Including an Annex which presents the
author's private project related to thinking in the context of the
journey from 'myth to reason', this book is of interest to
researchers in the fields of philosophy and the theory of law,
human rights, intellectual property and social theory.
