- W2247267009 abstract "We are witnessing an enormous acceleration of information flow. There is hardly a single day we do not hear about leaks of state secrets which tells us that they are of great interest for many people. Yet, when we stop and ask what exactly is at stake, we seem to face a difficulty: if the state is meant to secure the life and property of citizens no matter what, what then is wrong about states trying to keep secrets that could, when revealed, cause unwelcome effects for the pursuit of this aim? Is there something besides our common moral intuition that one should not lie according to which we could judge such attitude of states? In this paper I will examine Immanuel Kant’s theory of “publicity” in order to find a principle for monitoring state actions in the age of digital revolution, where the temptation for states to keep certain information hidden from the public becomes greater. But why Kant? It is because he conceives the raison d’etre of the state, against Hobbes, not merely in the preservation of lives and properties of its people but in its capacity to enhance and make individual freedom harmonize with one another according to universal laws. From this view follows that state power must be monitored by citizens so that it would not be used against their freedom whose content should be determined only through their own judgments. My claim is that what exactly is at risk in the age of digital revolution is the right to judge what freedom means. Hence I regard it necessary to ask why this right is indispensable and what the loss of it might cause according to Kant who calls it the “only palladium of human rights.” (Theory and Praxis) For this aim I will analyze Kant’s statement that the “proper task of politics” is to “conform” and to be in “accord” with the “happiness” of citizens, i.e. their being “content with their condition.” (Toward Perpetual Peace) I will argue that what grounds this proposition is Kant’s conviction that human beings qua rational as well as sensuous creatures could regard themselves happy only if they feel themselves as a free being who is more than just a merely natural entity. It is for this reason, I will show, that the “proper task of politics” consists in the legislation that respects the fundamental human desire for freedom which is only possible by taking their “public” judgment on ways to exist as free beings without infringing upon the equal freedom of others into account. If states, on the other hand, “publicly” refuse people the right to judge publicly, they would not only cause despair among people but at worst trigger rebellion." @default.
