Luís Roberto Barroso

Law is a universal institution that has pretensions of being ubiquitous and complete. However, in a complex, plural and volatile world, its limits and possibilities are shaken by the speed, depth and extent of ongoing transformations, its resulting ethical dilemmas, and the difficulties of forming consensus in the political universe. This article provides a reflection on how the law has attempted to deal with some of the main afflictions of our time, facing demands that include the needs to (i) keep the technological revolution on an ethical and humanitarian track, (ii) avoid democracy being perverted by populist and authoritarian adventures, and (iii) prevent solutions to climate change from coming when it is too late. At a time when even the near future has become unpredictable, the law cannot provide a priori solutions to multiplying problems and anxieties. When this happens, we must set clear goals for the future of humanity, basing them on the essential and perennial values that have followed us since antiquity.

技术革命、民主衰退和气候变化:变化世界中法律的局限性

法律是一个普遍的制度,自称无处不在和完备。然而,在一个复杂、多元和​​动荡的世界中,其局限性和可能性被持续变革的速度、深度和范围、由此产生的伦理困境以及在政治世界中形成共识的困难所动摇。本文反思了法律如何试图应对我们这个时代的一些主要问题,面临的要求包括:(i) 将技术革命保持在道德和人道主义轨道上,(ii) 避免民主被被民粹主义和威权主义的冒险所扭曲,以及 (iii) 阻止气候变化的解决方案出现时为时已晚。在连不久的将来都变得不可预知的时候,法律无法为成倍增加的问题和焦虑提供先验的解决方案。当这种情况发生时,我们必须为人类的未来设定明确的目标,将这些目标建立在自古以来就伴随着我们的基本和永恒的价值观之上。
