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.
