Ancestors and Descendants
This article explores the implications of responsibility‐sensitive justice for one set of intergenerational rights and duties. It focuses on the distinctive set of rights and duties, pertaining to procreation and parenting, that can be derived from Left Libertarianism's foundational entitlements. Broadly speaking, those implied rights and duties are such that all children's ability levels should be of equal value at the threshold of adulthood

Why private property?”
Why Private Property?”
Le texte suivant est la transcription de la table ronde qui a clôturé la conférence internationale « Pourquoi la propriété privée ? » (organisée à l’Université libre de Bruxelles en juin 2018). Philippe Van Parijs a accepté d’animer la discussion et d’organiser la confrontation des thèses de Jean-Fabien Spitz, Hillel Steiner et Karl Widerquist sur la propriété privée. La discussion est divisée en trois moments principaux. Tout d’abord, les orateu…

Good Fences Make Good Neighbours
Pour qu'une personne ait des droits effectifs, les autres doivent avoir des devoirs. Si deux devoirs entrent en conflits si la réalisation de l'un deux empêche celle d'un autre , il est nécessaire qu'au moins un des droits liés à ces devoirs ne soit pas valide. Ce papier défend l'idée qu'une la condition nécessaire et suffisante pour éviter de tels conflits est que tous les droits sont, ou sont réductibles à, des droits de propriété privéeˆ: d…
Asymmetric information, libertarianism, and fraud
This paper argues (a) that while a no-fraud legal requirement does not follow from libertarian first principles, it is not only permitted – but also mandated – by them under certain conditions, and (b) that the claim that some fraudulent exchanges are morally invalid need not appeal to a theory of moral permissibility that is external to those principles
The Oxford Handbook of Distributive Justice
This volume collects previously unpublished work on distributive justice written by leading political philosophers. Its aim is to provide a wide-ranging overview of the central contemporary debates—some more familiar than others—concerning distributive justice. The volume opens with an introduction and its thirty-two chapters are divided into four parts. The chapters of Part I introduce readers to the main contemporary approaches to distributive …

Compensation for liberty lost
The case for an unconditional basic income often founders on moral questions of distribution and reciprocity. But as Hillel Steiner explains, left libertarianism offers not only a robust justification of a basic income as compensation for private ownership of our natural inheritance, but a practical account of how it can be funded.
Greed and Fear
This essay argues that the proffered grounds for Cohen's rejection of market relations – that they are sustained by the base motives of greed and fear – are unsound and also unnecessary to explain the maximising behaviour induced by those relations
Directed Duties and Inalienable Rights
This essay advances and defends two claims: (a) that rights cannot be inalienable and (b) that even if they could be, this would not be morally justifiable.
Liberalism, neutrality and exploitation
This essay argues that a liberalism that avoids legal moralism – that is neutral between rival conceptions of the good – cannot embrace intervention in commercial transactions, but is thereby precluded neither from identifying some such transactions as exploitative nor from redressing them by other means
Human rights and the diversity of value
This paper argues that the independence from intercultural disagreement, that Peter Jones attributes to human rights, implies that those rights are best understood as modelled on the Will Theory of rights and are derived from each person’s foundational right to equal (negative) freedom
The Global Fund
The Global Fund is a mechanism for the global application of the Left Libertarian conception of distributive justice. As a form of luck egalitarianism, this conception confers upon each person an entitlement to an equal share of all natural resource values, since natural resources – broadly, geographical sites – are objects for the production of which no person is responsible. Owners of these sites, i.e. states, are liable to a 100% Global Fund t…

May Lockean Doughnuts Have Holes? The Geometry of Territorial Jurisdiction
The traditional Lockean account of a state's territorial rights construes them as arising from, and coextensive with, the property rights of whichever set of landowners mutually contract to form that state. The coherence of this individualistic account has recently been challenged by Cara Nine. I argue that the reasons offered in support of that incoherence charge are unpersuasive

Moral Rights
Territorial justice and global redistribution
It is a commonplace of political history that, at some times in some places, liberalism and nationalism have not been incompatible. More than that, they have been good friends – lending each other vital support, rejoicing in one another's triumphs, holding a shared view of who is the enemy and so forth. Nor, according to Onora O'Neill, has this affinity been merely coincidental.
Just Taxation and International Redistribution
What should we provide to other persons, and what do we morally owe them? Most people, I think, would agree that these two questions are not equivalent and that we can make little headway toward understanding the demands of justice unless we see the various items sought in the second question as forming only a subset of those sought in the first. There are many things—goods and services, including services of forbearance— that we ought to provide…
Freedom
Left Libertarianism and the Ownership of Natural Resources
In this paper I develop a natural resource based account of just redistribution. First, I show how rights to natural resources derive their singular importance from conditions rights have to meet. Then, I turn to the problem of self-ownership and defend a natural resources based solution against the view that we should state by moral fiat that everyone just is a self- owner. After discussing why my solution is a unifying handle on diverse intuiti…
An essay on rights
This book addresses the perennial question: What is justice? The usual answer draws on ideas such as fairness and impartiality. Hillel Steiner departs from this approach: he seeks an answer through an exploration of the nature of rights
Why Left‐Libertarianism Is Not Incoherent, Indeterminate, or Irrelevant
Over the past few decades, there has been increasing interest in leftlibertarianism, which holds (roughly) that agents fully own themselves and that natural resources (land, minerals, air, and the like) belong to everyone in some egalitarian sense.Left-libertarianism agrees with the more familiar right-libertarianism about self-ownership, but radically disagrees with it about the power to acquire ownership of natural resources.Merely being the fi…
The Natural Right to the Means of Production
Affirmations that there are natural rights typically provoke queries as to which rights they are.And it has been the lack of convincing answers that has, understandably, engendered much if not all of the scepticism with which such affirmations are frequently greeted.Perhaps the only unexceptionable claim that can be registered about the subject of human or natural rights is that agreement on their existence is more widespread than is agreement on…
Liberty and Equality
The traditional characterization of a libertarian society is that it is one which minimizes uncontracted enforcible restrictions on individual conduct. It is argued that, due to (i) the fact of necessarily finite natural resources, and (ii) the fact that human societies are composed of persons who are not exact contemporaries, i.e. of generations, this libertarian requirement can only be satisfied in a society which embodies at least one importan…

Double-counting Inequalities
Philippe Van Parijs has argued that, in a globalizing economy, acquiring a second language, additional to one's native language, is more necessary for some persons than others — and that this asymmetric bilingualism is a form of injustice which should be rectified by a more equitable global sharing of the costs of second-language acquisition. This article responds by suggesting that (1) since native languages have geographic locations, and (2) si…

Liberalism and Nationalism
Historically, liberal political philosophy has had much to say about who is entitled to nationhood.

The object of this paper is to show that the foundational principles of liberalism can generate reasonably determinate solutions to these problems. That is, th…

Capitalism, Justice and Equal Starts
“Does the existence of unequal social and economic starting points in life nullify capitalism's claims to justice?” Notice is hereby given that this essay's answer to this question is an unequivocal “maybe.” For it is a banal but true claim that everything depends upon what is meant by capitalism, justice and life's starting point. And it is a less banal but no less true claim that their meanings are opaque or controversial or both. In what follo…

Rational Rights
A rational moral code must satisfy the condition of completeness. This same condition applies to a set of moral rights, where it takes the form of requiring that all the rights in that set be compossible: that their respective correlatively entailed duties be jointly fulfillable. Such joint fulfillability is guaranteed only by a set of fully differentiated individual domains. And if moral rights are to play any independent role in moral reasoning…

Two Comments on ‘Two Conceptions of Liberalism’
No one who has read either Rawls's Political Liberalism or my An Essay on Rights can fail to profit from the penetrating analysis to which Peter Jones has subjected them. Disposed to agree with most of what he says about the former, I am also inclined – but as yet unable – to disagree with much of what he says about the latter. However, alongside his many acute criticisms on which I'll need to reflect further, Jones's report of two key moves in m…

The right to trade in human body parts
This essay challenges the coherence of arguments brought in support of prohibiting the sale of human body parts. Considerations of neither social utility nor individual rights nor avoidance of exploitation seem sufficient to ground such a prohibition. Indeed, they may be sufficient to invalidate it
