What Do Privacy Scholars Maximize? – Law as a Practice and Law as a Science.
Manage episode 501724287 series 3664155
Ignacio Cofone’s book “The Privacy Fallacy” is the starting point for a methodological discussion about how the notion of privacy is approached by law. It is distinguished between law as a practice and law as science. The first is a technique of conflict resolution, while the latter derives empirically testable hypotheses from a theory. In “The Privacy Fallacy” we find both. Epistemological problems arise when the two approaches are not analytically separated. This discussion is guided by the article ‘What do privacy scholars maximize? – Law as a practice and law as a science’, written by prof. Heine.
