No reviews yet Write a Review
Philosopher Kings? The Adjudication of Conflicting Human Rights and Social Values examines the attempts by courts to sort out conflicts involving freedom of expression, including religious expression, on the one hand, and rights to privacy and other important social values, on the other. It approaches the subject from a comparative perspective, using principally cases decided by European and United States courts. A significant part of Philosopher Kings? analyzes conflicts between freedom of expression and the right to privacy, and the problems that arise if these rights are said to be of equal value and defeasible for certain important social reasons.

Philosopher Kings? The Adjudication of Conflicting Human Rights and Social Values, by George C. Christie, examines the attempts by courts to sort out conflicts involving freedom of expression, including religious expression, on the one hand, and rights to privacy and other important social values on the other. It approaches the subject from a comparative perspective, using principally cases decided by European and United States courts. A significant part of this book analyzes conflicts between freedom of expression and the right to privacy. In a world in which, freedom of expression and privacy are said to be of equal value, the book explores whether it is possible to develop, through case-by-case adjudication, a legal regime which can give clear direction as to what expression is or is not permitted. Otherwise, if such a regime proves impossible, in the guise of recognizing the equal value of expression and privacy, privacy may become de facto the preferred value.
