| Summary | "The Right to Privacy" by Samuel D. Warren and Louis Dembitz Brandeis is a seminal legal publication written during the late 19th century. This important treatise outlines the challenges faced by individuals in protecting their private lives in the face of burgeoning media and technological advancements. The authors argue for the legal recognition of privacy as a fundamental right, emphasizing its significance in an advancing society. In their work, Warren and Brandeis explore the evolution of common law as it pertains to personal rights and privacy, particularly in light of new inventions such as photography and the invasive nature of press coverage. They assert that the law must expand its definitions of individual rights to protect against unauthorized intrusions into private life, highlighting the psychological harm inflicted by public exposure and gossip. Through detailed legal analysis, they contend that privacy should be regarded as an inviolable aspect of personal dignity, deserving of legal safeguards against exploitation by the press and society at large. The paper ultimately lays the groundwork for future legal doctrines concerning the right to privacy, influencing both legal thought and legislation on the matter.
