Right to Know Watson Lani
We speak of the right to know with relative ease. But what exactly is the right to know, and who should we trust to safeguard it?This book provides the first comprehensive examination of the right to know and other epistemic rights: rights to goods such as information, knowledge and truth. You have the right to know the results of a medical test or to be informed about the collection and use of personal data.
