This book offers a new way to justify privacy based on a theory
derived from Buddhist insights. It uses insights obtained from the
Buddhist teachings on Non-Self to create an alternative theory of
privacy. In doing so, the author first spells out the inherent
differences between the Buddhist insights and the beliefs
underlying conventional theories of privacy. While Buddhism views
the self as existing conventionally through interactions with
others, as well as through interrelations with other basic
components, non-Buddhist ideas of self are understood as being
grounded upon autonomous subjects, commonly understood to be
entitled to rights and dignity. In light of this, the book offers
ways in which these seemingly disparate concepts can be reconciled,
while keeping in mind the need for protecting citizens' privacy in
a modern information society. It also argues that the new way of
conceptualizing privacy, as presented in this book, would go a long
way in helping unravel the difficult concept of group privacy.
