السيادة الإدراكية والسيادة المعرفية — إعادة تأسيس الذات الإنسانية بين الوعي والمعرفة في عصر النيروجيكو

This article examines the conceptual distinction between epistemic sovereignty and cognitive sovereignty in the context of accelerating algorithmic influence on human perception. Epistemic sovereignty traditionally denotes the entitlement of individuals and communities to generate and interpret knowledge devoid of cultural or political hegemony. In contrast, cognitive sovereignty—articulated and delineated by Professor Abouelella Hassanein within the context of Neurojico Philosophy—confronts a more profound, foundational aspect: the human right to govern perception, attention, and meaning-making in contexts influenced by artificial intelligence. The article argues that cognitive sovereignty precedes epistemic sovereignty, since no knowledge can remain independent if the underlying structures of perception are compromised. Through a comparative analysis, the article highlights how the rise of algorithmic systems has shifted the struggle from the domain of knowledge to the realm of awareness itself, making cognitive sovereignty the essential condition for preserving human agency in the age of augmented cognition and intelligent machines.
