| Descrição: | This article deals with the philosophical aspects upholding the universality of human rights, in the thought of the French philosopher Claude Lefort (1924-2010). To this end, and drawing from his notion of the political, the most basic elements of the institution of the social are outlined, as well as the primal division in its order, in virtue of the symbolic principle of power. The transformation in the form of society, typical of the birth of modern democracy, raises the issue of the universality of human rights, as the reference to a transcendent foundation of power falls short of legitimacy. In the thought of the French philosopher, the universality of human rights owes to its instituting and, therefore, political character, in the sense that it establishes a new and dynamic sociality; precisely the sociality of the democratic society, which lacks determined references of certainty. |
