What can philosophy tell us about privacy? Quite a lot as it turns
out. With Privacy and Philosophy: New Media and Affective Protocol
Andrew McStay draws on an array of philosophers to offer a
refreshingly novel approach to privacy matters. Against the
backdrop and scrutiny of Arendt, Aristotle, Bentham, Brentano,
Deleuze, Engels, Heidegger, Hume, Husserl, James, Kant, Latour,
Locke, Marx, Mill, Plato, Rorty, Ryle, Sartre, Skinner, Spinoza,
Whitehead and Wittgenstein, among others, McStay advances a wealth
of new ideas and terminology, from affective breaches to zombie
media. Theorizing privacy as an affective principle of interaction
between human and non-human actors, McStay progresses to make
unique arguments on transparency, the publicness of subjectivity,
our contemporary techno-social condition and the nature of empathic
media in an age of intentional machines. Reconstructing our most
basic assumptions about privacy, this book is a must-read for
theoreticians, empirical analysts, students, those contributing to
policy and anyone interested in the steering philosophical ideas
that inform their own orientation and thinking about privacy.
