ABSTRACT

The focus of this article is the notion of alethic rights, the rights related to truth. The concept of truth grounds many norms and customary and official rules, but there is no clear and shared idea about its power to generate specific rights. The juridical and political archetype called ‘the right to truth’ is still subject of controversies, and there are doubts about its being a real ‘right,’ to be protected by positive (new) norms. In the article the problem is explored in truth-theoretical perspective: can philosophy support the idea of truth as a source of rights? Can an updated and well-developed theory of truth be proposed, to help activists and theorists concerned with the need for truth of individuals and communities? I present six alethic rights, corresponding to six different aspects of the human need for truth, then I specifically focus on the truth theory that can justify the hypothesis.

摘要

本文的重点是道德权利的概念，即与真相相关的权利。真理的概念是许多规范、习惯和官方规则的基础，但对于它产生特定权利的力量没有明确和共同的想法。被称为“了解真相的权利”的司法和政治原型仍然存在争议，人们怀疑它是否是真正的“权利”，受到积极（新）规范的保护。文章从真理论的角度探讨了这个问题：哲学能否支持真理作为权利来源的观点？能否提出更新的、完善的真理理论，以帮助关注个人和社区真理需求的活动家和理论家？我提出六项道德权利，对应于人类对真理的六个不同方面的需求，那么我特别关注可以证明假设合理的真理理论。
