Using an innovative history of the constitutional right to privacy,
and inspired by Emersonian Justices like Brandeis and Douglas, this
book rescues the meaning of privacy from prevalent liberal thinking
by proposing a general theory of rights based on a
spiritual-ecological jurisprudence tradition at the heart of
American law. The right to privacy is a powerful, yet often
overlooked tradition, whose main representatives are Justice
Brandeis and Justice Douglas, both of whom translated into
concretely legal and political ideas the philosophy of American
thinkers like Emerson and Thoreau. In light of this historical
understanding, the major constitutional cases relating to privacy,
such as Griswold or Roe v. Wade, are given new interpretations.
Through a radical reinterpretation of Mill's philosophy of liberty,
and a comparison of that reinterpretation with the one of Brandeis,
this book proposes a new general theory of rights, based on the
valuation of privacy as a transformative context in which
self-knowledge can emerge, giving birth to ethical and communal
responsibility.
