Abstract

This study is an attempt to construct a concrete and inviolable "bulwark" against the deconstruction of personality—a process that has likely been occurring unconsciously yet systematically within modern society and legal philosophy. By philosophically clarifying the preconditions of personality rights, this paper aims to express the invisible "whittling away of the soul" as a geometric area and presents a new horizon for human rights theory, ensuring respect for the "subject breathing here and now". Within the history of philosophy, this represents a non-novel integrative theory that redefines the Platonic and Aristotelian concepts of the soul as a secular structure through the lenses of phenomenology and neuroscience, presenting it as the ontological foundation of personality rights.
