Abstract

Abstract: Self-ownership theorists argue that many of our most morally urgent and enforceable rights stem from the fact that we own ourselves. Critics of self-ownership argue that the claim that people own their bodies commits self-ownership theorists to several implausible conclusions because self-ownership theory relies on several vague moral predicates, and any precisification of the required predicates is seemingly too permissive (because it allows people to impose deadly risks on innocent bystanders for no reason) or too restrictive (because it prohibits people from polluting or even interacting with others at all). I argue that this line of criticism does not undermine the case for self-ownership theory because self-ownership theory does not require precisification of each moral concept that it is based on and, even if it did, the theory’s alleged extensional inadequacy does not undermine its justification.

边界问题和自我所有权
摘要:自我所有权理论家认为,我们许多在道德上最紧迫和可执行的权利源于我们拥有自己的事实。自我所有权的批评者认为,人们拥有自己身体的说法使自我所有权理论家得出了几个难以置信的结论,因为自我所有权理论依赖于几个模糊的道德谓词,而对所需谓词的任何精确化似乎都过于纵容(因为它允许人们毫无理由地对无辜的旁观者施加致命的风险)或过于限制(因为它禁止人们污染甚至与他人互动)。我认为,这一批评路线并没有削弱自我所有权理论的理由,因为自我所有权理论并不需要对其所基于的每个道德概念进行精确化,即使需要,该理论所谓的外延不足也不会削弱其正当性。

期刊介绍: Social Philosophy and Policy is an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on the philosophical underpinnings of enduring social policy debates. The issues are thematic in format, examining a specific area of concern with contributions from scholars in different disciplines, especially philosophy, economics, political science and law. While not primarily a journal of policy prescriptions, some articles in each issue will typically connect theory with practice. The 2006 issues are "Justice and Global Politics" and "Taxation, Economic Prosperity, and Distributive Justice". The 2007 issues will be "Liberalism: Old and New" and "Ancient Greek Political Theory".
