Transforming Privacy

Focusing on the constitutional right to privacy, this book draws inspiration from Emersonian Justices like Brandeis and Douglas to challenge conventional liberal interpretations. It presents a spiritual-ecological jurisprudence that redefines privacy as a vital tradition in American law. By revisiting landmark cases such as Griswold and Roe v. Wade, the author offers fresh insights and connects Mill's philosophy of liberty with Brandeis's views, ultimately proposing a new theory of rights that emphasizes privacy as essential for self-knowledge and ethical responsibility.
