A hegelian basis for information privacy as an economic right
Marco De Boni, Martyn Prigmore · 2001
We briefly discuss the current state of the electronic privacy debate, with particular emphasis on the move towards regarding information privacy as an economic right. Current proposals are examined, and seen to derive from pragmatic, problem driven analyses, rather than clear philosophical foundations. The Hegelian concept of privacy is examined with a view to providing a philosophical basis for privacy as an economic rather than a social/human right.
