Posthuman and Philosophy of the law. A critical vision of the Rosi Braidotti's theory

Abstract

In this article, I will propose some criticisms against Rosi Braidotti theory about "Posthumanism" and "nomad ethics". Braidotti's theory vindicates the need for a "posthuman" responsibility towards both silenced minorities that strives for recognition, and animals. I will argue that her theory needs the support of legal theory in order to face issues such as the recognition of animals' rights, the massive control through Internet or the modification of sexual identity in adolescents.
