“The intense intellectual and emotional life, and the heightening of sensations which came with the advance of civilization, made it clear…that only a part of the pain, pleasure, and profit of life lay in physical things. Thoughts, emotions, and sensations demanded legal recognition….” Brandeis & Warren, The Right to Privacy Most law review articles are confined to the dustbins of history, but some end up changing the world.  In 1890, Samuel D. Warren and Louis Brandeis, two leading legal scholars of their era, co-authored the article The Right to Privacy in the Harvard Law Review.
