Felt experience of individual rights lagged behind formal law until second modernity

Evidence

Western modernity had formed around a canon of principles and laws that confer inviolable individual rights and acknowledge the sanctity of each individual life. However, it was not until the second modernity that felt experience began to catch up with formal law. This felt truth has been expressed in new demands to make actual in everyday life what is already established in law. — Shoshana Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, 115
