Presenting a comprehensive, critical examination of the claim that private property is one of the fundamental rights of humankind, Waldron here contrasts two types of arguments about rights: those based on historical entitlement, and those based on the importance of property for freedom. Heillustrates this contrast with a detailed discussion of the theories of property found in Locke's Second Treatise and Hegel's Philosophy of Rights, and offers original analyses of the concept of ownership, the idea of rights, and the relation between property and equality, finding that traditionalarguments about property yield some surprisingly radical conclusions.Waldron, Jeremy is the author of 'Right to Private Property' with ISBN 9780198243267 and ISBN 019824326X.
