Opis

The first comprehensive analysis of the key theories of property developed by the major figures in classical German philosophy.

Recenzje

'David James brilliantly demonstrates that, beyond their controversies about economic systems, classic German philosophers share the same concept of property. It isn't primarily a relation between a person and a thing, but a system of mutual limitation of free spheres of action. This opens highly promising perspectives for the current debates on distributive justice.' Jean-Christophe Merle, University of Vechta/Universität des Saarlandes
