ESTEVAO, Carlos V.. Democracy, justice and human rights: blind spots of humanist discourse in the age of markets. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.2, pp.179-203. ISSN 0871-9187.

The author presents the complex relation between new humanism, congruent with the spirit of current capitalism, and concepts of democracy, human rights and justice. Accordingly, the author aims to highlight the blind spots that current humanists hide in their speech, which is placed at the service of the logics of market. The paper finishes with a proposal of another type of humanism, which contributes to critically reverse this situation and to redignify democracy, human rights and justice.

Palavras-chave : New humanism; Democracy; Rights; Justice.
