Abstract
Societal progress and scientific developments have always gone hand-in-hand with a rethinking of the underlying legal and political categories. Today, a new technological revolution is on the horizon, driven by advances in genetics, robotics and nanotechnology. Inevitably, this new transformation of humanity involves a new review of these categories. Science fiction, in cinema – with films such as I, Robot– in literature and in TV series, is already offering a new story of the future and, therefore, offering new meaning to these concepts. Can legal-philosophical reflection adapt to these new times and anticipate and perhaps even guide and channel the debate in the 21st century?
