| Summary: | The article explores the complexity of the rights of privacy. It is inferred that privacy has a strong agreement with literature because it morally either enhances autonomy and human dignity or because it provides space for the maintenance of one's intimate social relationship. It focuses on the issue on whether a right to privacy is derivable from other more fundamental rights such as the right to own property. It argues on the distinctiveness of privacy which is against the reductionist thesis of J. Thomson. It also suggests that the debate between control and separation theorists is a false dilemma as well as discusses personal separateness which is necessary for privacy. |
