"The Social Importance of Privacy"
Priscella M. Regan,
Department of Public Affairs,
George Mason University
CPSR Washington Office
Friday, May 3, 1991
noon - 2 pm
Most legal and philosophical writing views privacy as
important to the individual, as a safeguard that allows for
personal self-development, and a political freedom that
protects private or intimate relationships. But this emphasis
on the importance of the individual has concealed another
aspect of privacy P its social importance. Professor Regan
will explore the philosophical and legal basis for the social or
public importance of privacy, and will examine the policy
implications of viewing privacy from a social perspective.
