"Cohen's work brings new substance and new clarity to claims for
the proceduralization (or reflexivity) of law. Cohen denies the
independence of political-moral orientations from idealizations of
the legal form and the background models of individual, society,
and state that motivate such idealizations. She shows convincingly
how the legal-formal idealizations native to a debate between
classical and welfare liberalism inevitably mistranslate and
miscarry the distinctive aims of a constructivist, deontological
liberalism that differs crucially from them both."--Frank
Michelman, Harvard University
"I have read "Regulating Intimacy" with much pleasure and
profit. Professor Cohen illuminates the conceptual and policy
issues that arise when we try to encourage intimate associations
that are both free and responsible. This is a welcome contribution
to the integration of moral and social theory. It deals extensively
with contemporary legal doctrine, and helps us make sense of new
thinking about law and society."--Philip Selznick, author of "The
Communitarian Persuasion"
"Cohen has written an enormously impressive contribution to
legal and political scholarship sure to be of interest to a broad
audience of scholars, policy makers, and activists. Creatively
borrowing from recent debates within European legal theory about
the prospects of a 'reflexive paradigm' of regulation, she
demonstrates persuasively why traditional views of the proper legal
treatment of the domain of intimacy need to be reformulated. Those
interested in a host of ongoing legal debates about privacy and
sexuality will find answers to many of their questions here. Cohen
has authored a genuinely pathbreaking work whichshould influence
policy and judicial decisionmaking."--William E. Scheuerman,
University of Minnesota
"This is a bold, exciting, novel defense of privacy law. Cohen's
learned approach to arguing that privacy is neither arbitrary nor
archaic engages a surprisingly wide range of important contemporary
thinkers. Her selection of case studies is timely and of great
interest--giving the book immediate practical value. It will
attract many readers and critics."--Anita Allen, University of
Pennsylvania
