商品簡介
The libertarianism critiqued in this work is a right-based political morality that "proceeds from a set of moral rights grounded on liberty to the justification of the non-interventive state and the market, and the rejection of redistributive taxation," in the words of Attas (Hebrew U. of Jerusalem, Israel), and is best exemplified by Robert Nozick's work in Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1974). Attas bases his critique in undermining three core principles of libertarianism: the principle of self-ownership, which asserts that each person is the morally rightful owner of his body and mental and physical capacities; the principle of just appropriation, which suggests that individuals rightly come to own previously unowned natural resources; and the principle of preservation of ownership, which argues that ownership is not forfeited when the thing owned is transformed by the owner.
