Abstract

Privacy is one of the most pressing concerns in the continuously evolving landscape of information technology. Despite decades of vigorous and multifaceted exploration in the interdisciplinary field of information privacy, a consensual or unifying theory remains elusive. Moreover, the complexities of issues surrounding privacy are frequently labeled as “too big to understand” in the public press. At this critical juncture, it is beneficial to delve deeper into the foundational assumptions that privacy scholars have about privacy phenomena. In this commentary, we offer a fresh perspective by drawing on Dreyfus’ influential exegesis of the Heideggerian onto-epistemological framework to reflect on these assumptions. The perspective we offer yields three integrative recommendations for future privacy research to open to new research directions. We illustrate how these new directions could not only grow future privacy research but also facilitate the design of more effective privacy-protection measures in practice.
信息隐私研究的本体-认识论分析
在不断发展的信息技术环境中,隐私是最紧迫的问题之一。尽管在信息隐私的跨学科领域进行了数十年的积极和多方面的探索,但共识或统一的理论仍然难以捉摸。此外,围绕隐私问题的复杂性经常被公众媒体贴上“大到难以理解”的标签。在这个关键时刻,更深入地探讨隐私学者对隐私现象的基本假设是有益的。在这篇评论中,我们通过借鉴德雷福斯对海德格尔本体-认识论框架的有影响力的注释,提供了一个新的视角来反思这些假设。我们提供的视角为未来隐私研究开辟新的研究方向提供了三个综合建议。我们说明了这些新的方向如何不仅可以促进未来的隐私研究,而且有助于在实践中设计更有效的隐私保护措施。
