Adam D. Moore is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Washington.
“Privacy Rights is a lucid and compelling examination of the right
to privacy. Adam Moore provides a theoretically rich and trenchant
account of how to reconcile privacy with competing interests such
as free speech, workplace productivity, and security.”—Daniel J.
Solove,George Washington University Law School, author of
Understanding Privacy
“Adam Moore’s Privacy Rights offers both a sustained philosophical
analysis of the concept of privacy and a careful account of how
this concept relates to such pressing practical issues as free
speech, intellectual property, and workplace drug testing. This
book is a first-rate piece of work and is destined to become a
landmark volume in the philosophical discussion of privacy.”—James
S. Taylor,The College of New Jersey
“Privacy Rights is a significant contribution to the literature
because it links the theory of privacy defended with other
established views in the literature, but goes beyond that and adds
new arguments and justifications. In the book, Adam Moore provides
a novel endorsement of the value of privacy and privacy rights and
a focus on contemporary issues surrounding informational privacy
and the conflict between privacy and security, especially in the
light of 9/11.”—Judith Wagner DeCew,Clark University
“Advocates of privacy should welcome Adam Moore’s engaging defense
of privacy rights, and in particular his iconoclastic challenge to
the prevailing view that privacy is fine so long as it does not
impinge on free speech. . . . [He provides] tools, in the form of
principles, arguments, and examples, to help us rigorously put our
intuitions about privacy to the test.”—Mark Tunick Social Theory
and Practice
“In his Privacy Rights: Moral and Legal Foundations, Adam Moore has
taken on the ambitious challenge of offering readers nothing less
than ‘a philosophical defense for privacy rights.’ . . . Moore
offers an analysis that should be of interest to scholars and
students in a variety of academic disciplines as well as to
participants in the public policy arena. . . . All readers—and
potential readers—of Privacy Rights should applaud the contribution
that the author has made to the hybrid literature on privacy, and
his imaginative philosophical justifications for particular public
policy positions.”—John W. Johnson Review of Politics
