My project is based on an examination into the role and appropriateness of MI5 in light of the perceived democratic value of an individual\u2019s right to privacy, which MI5 necessarily violate for the sake of national security. <\/p>\n
My question is whether MI5 is justified in its approach to violate an individual\u2018s right to privacy, thereby determining its applicability within a democratic society. <\/p>\n
I intend to investigate this applicability with respect to the concepts of secrecy, security, and privacy rights. From this, I will establish the condition that we implicitly agree to neglect the transparency of MI5\u2019s operation for the preservation of national security, that through accountability provided by the government will uphold one\u2019s rights to privacy as far as possible. However, we can never guarantee that MI5 do not unlawfully violate one\u2019s rights to privacy. Therefore, through a philosophical investigation of: <\/p>\n
1) Kant\u2019s public and private reason, universal principle of Right, external freedom, and the necessity of coercion from authority;
\n2) Hegel\u2019s conception of the ethical life, citizens disposition to trust the state, freedom between the suffusion of the objective and subjective wills;
\n3) Marx\u2019s ideological critique, commodification of intelligence, and questioning to what extent individual rights exist; I will deduce to what extent such a condition can be affirmed, thereby determining the applicability of MI5 within a democratic society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
