Rights Forfeiture and Punishment
ISBN: 9780190274764 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Given that persons typically have a right not to be subjected to the hard treatment of punishment, it would seem natural to conclude that the permissibility of punishment is centrally a question of rights. Despite this, the vast majority of theorists working on punishment focus instead on important aims, such as achieving retributive justice, deterring crime, restoring victims, or expressing society's core values. Wellman contends that these aims may well explain why we should want a properly constructed system of punishment, but none shows why it would be permissible to institute one. Only a...

A Theory of Secession
ISBN: 9781107407237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Offering an unapologetic defense of the right to secede, Christopher Heath Wellman argues that any group has a moral right to secede as long as its political divorce will leave it and the remainder state in a position to perform the requisite political functions. He explains that there is nothing contradictory about valuing legitimate states, while permitting their division. Thus, if one values self-determination, then one has good reason to conclude that people have a right to determine their political boundaries.

Debating the Ethics of Immigration: Is There a Right to Exclude?
ISBN: 9780199731725 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Do states have the right to prevent potential immigrants from crossing their borders, or should people have the freedom to migrate and settle wherever they wish? Christopher Heath Wellman and Phillip Cole develop and defend opposing answers to this timely and important question. Appealing to the right to freedom of association, Wellman contends that legitimate states have broad discretion to exclude potential immigrants, even those who desperately seek to enter. Against this, Cole argues that the commitment to the moral equality of all human beings - which legitimate states can be expected to...

Liberal Rights and Responsibilities: Essays on Citizenship and Sovereignty
ISBN: 9780199982189 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The twin questions at the heart of political philosophy are "Why may the state forcibly impose itself on its constituents?" and "Why must citizens obey the state's commands?" In Liberal Rights and Responsibilities, Christopher Heath Wellman offers original responses to these fundamental questions and then, building upon these answers, defends a number of distinctive positions concerning the rights and responsibilities individual citizens, separatist groups, and political states have regarding one another. The first four chapters combine to critically discuss standard theories of...

Is There a Duty to Obey the Law?
ISBN: 9780521537841 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The central question in political philosophy is whether political states have the right to coerce their constituents and whether citizens have a moral duty to obey the commands of their state. Christopher Heath Wellman and A. John Simmons defend opposing answers to this question. Wellman bases his argument on Samaritan obligations to perform easy rescues. Simmons counters that this, and all other attempts to explain our duty to obey the law, will fail.
