[The right not to know, in the German legislation (Part I)].
The right not to know entails being aware of a reality which corresponds to the mental representation one makes of a circumstance through external sensory perceptions or through intellectual actions from which one derives conclusions. The author discusses the different manifestations of this right not to know, from the right not to be informed to a general right of waiver.
