Abstract (italiano) L’articolo traccia un percorso dal diritto naturale settecentesco ai diritti digitali del XXI secolo, proponendo un nuovo umanesimo liberale capace di confrontarsi con la rivoluzione tecnologica. Attraverso il pensiero di Benedetto Croce, Norberto Bobbio, John Dewey e Isaiah Berlin, l’autore mostra come i diritti non siano entità eterne, ma conquiste storiche da reinterpretare in ogni epoca. Oggi la sfida liberale è garantire l’autonomia morale dell’individuo nell’ecosistema digitale: autodeterminazione informativa, trasparenza algoritmica, pluralismo digitale e accesso equo alla conoscenza diventano i nuovi pilastri della libertà. L’articolo propone una Carta liberale dei diritti digitali e invita a pensare la libertà non solo come protezione dall’abuso, ma come capacità di immaginare alternative in un’epoca dominata dalla previsione algoritmica. Abstract (English) The article traces a path from eighteenth-century natural law to twenty-first-century digital rights, proposing a new liberal humanism capable of engaging with the technological revolution. Drawing on the thought of Benedetto Croce, Norberto Bobbio, John Dewey, and Isaiah Berlin, the author shows that rights are not eternal entities but historical achievements to be reinterpreted in each era. Today, the liberal challenge is to guarantee the moral autonomy of the individual within the digital ecosystem: informational self-determination, algorithmic transparency, digital pluralism, and equitable access to knowledge become the new pillars of freedom. The article proposes a Liberal Charter of Digital Rights and invites us to think of freedom not only as protection from abuse, but as the capacity to imagine alternatives in an age dominated by algorithmic prediction.
