THE HUMAN RIGHT TO REBELLION

A HISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL ANTHOLOGY TO UNDERSTAND ITS FULL VALIDITY AND NECESSITY

Abstract

This article offers a historiographical, legal, and iusfundamental examination of the reasons, content, and consequences of the right to rebellion. It seeks to clarify its nature as a human right in light of the hermeneutic system of human rights interpretation rooted in personalism, as well as the peremptory norms of ius cogens, highlighting its contingent necessity in the face of the crisis of the modern project. The analysis spans from classical authors such as Aristotle, Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, and Francisco de Vitoria, to critics of modernity such as Nikolai Berdaieff, Emmanuel Mounier, and John Ruskin.
