Description: 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.
