Increasingly, they are endorsing the view that at a fundamental moral level autonomous agents are (initially, at least) self-owning in the sense of having moral authority to decide how to live their lives (within the constraints of the rights of others). As will be explained below, this leaves open whether agents are entitled to the full benefits of their choices and of their natural personal endowments (eg, ...

The present work—which is a model of clarity, and hence a genuine pleasure to read—is of value to the professional philosopher primarily as an overview of Fogelin's considered views on the topics with which it deals. Inasmuch as few have thought about these topics for as long or with as much care as Fogelin, it is most welcome.

In this anthology a number of prominent moral and political philosophers offer a critical assessment of Gauthier's theory and its three main projects: developing a contractarian foundation for morality, defending a theory of rational choice, and supporting the claim that rationality requires one to keep one's agreements. An introduction sets out Gauthier's project, while Gauthier himself has the last ...

I argue that (1) the only special duty that procreators owe their offspring is that of ensuring that their life prospects are non-negative (worth living), and (2) the only special duty that procreators owe others is that of ensuring that they are not disadvantaged by the procreators' offspring (a) violating their rights or (b) adversely affecting their equality rights and duties.

(2) If so, does justice require, or even permit, equal and unconditional distribution for some portion of the tax revenues? I shall claim that: (1) Although all forms of libertarianism reject the non-consensual taxation of labor and the products of labor, all but radical right-libertarianism allow a kind of wealth taxation for rights over natural resources.

Although trained as an economist, he has had 'a love affair with philosophy'and made significant contributions to our understanding of poverty, wellbeing, rights,
