Private Property Rights and the Environment
This book explores the current notion and definition of property, and its interpretation and implementation in relation to the environment. The author examines two primary problems: the degradation of land, natural resources and animal abuse; and the increasing erosion of private property rights from property owners by the arbitrary interference of state governments. Examining texts from antiquity to contemporary legislation, it portrays the historical development of the understanding of “nature” as “property” and discusses our obligations towards the environment. Drawing on the most influential political-philosophical texts from all periods of property rights history, the author analyzes modern national and international legislation and case law to offer legally-grounded evidence and explanations. This book advocates the incorporation of a formula that guarantees the protection of property rights into the legal system, and imposes clear and effective responsibility on property owners to limit the use of natural resources and the abuse of animals. This book will appeal to practitioners, researchers and students with an interest in environmental and private property law.
To Educate American Indians
To Educate American Indians presents the most complete versions of papers presented at the National Educational Association’s Department of Indian Education meetings during a time when the debate about how best to “civilize” Indigenous populations dominated discussions. During this time two philosophies drove the conversation. The first, an Enlightenment era–influenced universalism, held that through an educational alchemy American Indians would become productive, Christianized Americans, distinguishable from their white neighbors only by the color of their skin. Directly confronting the assimilationists’ universalism were the progressive educators who, strongly influenced by the e...
Verwirklichung der Grundrechte nach Art. 35 BV
Die Bundesverfassung von 1999 enthält noch wenig gewürdigte Schätze wie den Art. 35 BV, der alle staatlichen Organe verpflichtet, die Grundrechte nicht nur zu achten, sondern auch zu ihrer Verwirklichung beizutragen. Das zugrundeliegende Freiheitskonzept findet sich bereits im 18. Jahrhundert, rechtsphilosophisch etwa bei Kant, praktisch in den frühen amerikanischen (1776) oder französischen (1789) Rechteerklärungen. Die Besinnung auf solche Grundpfeiler der Verfassungsentwicklung ist auch für das heutige Verständnis der Grundrechte fruchtbar. Nationalismus und Rechtspositivismus haben im 19. Jahrhundert die Freiheitsrechte auf eine Abwehrfunktion gegen den Staat reduziert. Nach den Schrecken der beiden Weltkriege ist jedoch ihre staatslegitimierende Funktion unter dem Leitsatz der Menschenwürde wieder in den Vordergrund gerückt. Nationaler und internationaler Schutz der Grundrechte stehen heute in einem Wechselspiel, das Wissenschaft und Praxis herausfordert.

Property Rights and Sustainability
Published with the support of The New Zealand Law Foundation. As collapses and crises involving ecological systems, economic and financial management and international governance increase, the need for bold alternatives to traditional economic and legal responses has never been more urgent. Property concepts are an important element in the interaction between humans and the natural environment. An important driver of ecological harm, property concepts can also become a powerful tool for responding to ecological problems in ways that have so far eluded both government regulators and markets. Going beyond the traditional critiques of liberal property theories, Property Rights and Sustainabilit...

McDowell and Hegel
This book presents a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the relationship between the thought of G.W.F. Hegel and that of John McDowell, the latter of whom is widely considered to be one of the most influential living analytic philosophers. It serves as a point of entry in McDowell’s and Hegel’s philosophy, and a substantial contribution to ongoing debates on perceptual experience and perceptual justification, naturalism, human freedom and action. The chapters gathered in this volume, as well as McDowell’s responses, make it clear that McDowell’s work paves the way for an original reading of Hegel’s texts. His conceptual framework allows for new interpretive possibilities in Hegel’s philosophy which, until now, have remained largely unexplored. Moreover, these interpretations shed light on various aspects of continuity and discontinuity between the philosophies of these two authors, thus defining more clearly their positions on specific issues. In addition, they allow us to see Hegel’s thought as containing a number of conceptual tools that might be useful for advancing McDowell’s own philosophy and contemporary philosophy in general.
