On a Hobbesian Defense of the Minimal State
Michael Levin challenges the methodological soundness of Robert Nozick’s argument for the minimal state, but supports his final result: The exclusive aims of the state must be the “protection against force, theft, fraud, [and the] enforcement of contracts”. To replace Nozick’s, Levin builds a Hobbesian defense of the minimal state. He claims that the hypothetical rational choice of the less extensive bargain by the individuals in the state of nat…
Towards a non-ideal theory of climate migration
Anthropogenic climate change is inflicting serious loss and damage on some of the most vulnerable areas of the globe. In the future, a particularly vexing kind of that loss will be territorial. The continuously rising sea level is projected to submerge – or to otherwise make uninhabitable – not only large swaths of the territory of e.g. Bangladesh and the Netherlands, but also all of the island nations of e.g. Kiribati, Tuvalu, the Marshall Islan…
Is It Bad to Be Disabled? Adjudicating Between the Mere-Difference and the Bad-Difference Views of Disability
This paper examines the impact of disability on wellbeing and presents arguments against the mere-difference view of disability. According to the mere-difference view, disability does not by itself make disabled people worse off on balance.

In objection to the mere-difference view, it ha…
Anarchy, State, and Utopia

The book derives the welfare state from right-libertarian principles and, therefore, arrives at policy prescriptions of the political left based on the philosophical principles of the political right. For that purpose the book o fers a detailed analysis of right-libertarianism with a particular focus on the work of Robert Nozick. Further, it engages economic and sociological theory and addresses questions of transgenerational compensation, causat…
Green Votes not Green Virtues
Implementing strategies to address climate change confronts us with an enormous collective action problem. Dale Jamieson argues that in order to avoid large-scale defection and, therefore, the collapse of any cooperative effort to curb climate change, utilitarians should become virtue theorists. As a tool to combat climate change, virtue change faces severe obstacles. First, the non-contingent green virtues envisioned by Jamieson are highly impla…
