Lockean self-ownership: Towards a demolition
Political Studies, vol. 39, no. 1, 1991, pp. 36–54
Abstract
Self-ownership, the moral principle that one ought to be left free to do whatever one wants so long as non-consenting other persons are not thereby harmed, is clarified, and its implications for justified private property ownership are developed. Reasons for rejecting the self-ownership principle are suggested.
