“…This much is straightforward, but not very illuminating since the ‘age of abundance’ (Olivecrona 1974), where land is still available for acquisition, is a temporary stage. All land will be acquired before questions about large-scale immigration arise.…”

The author’s 2012 book On Global Justice gives pride of place to the idea that humanity collectively owns the earth. Independently, there has been a flourishing literature on the justification of rights to territory. Central to this discussion are a Kantian and a Lockean approach. This paper recapitulates the author’s approach to humanity’s collective ownership of the earth and argues that, properly understood, both of those approaches should integrate the global standpoint constituted thereby. However, the goal here is not to amend the Kantian and Lockean approaches to territory, but to refute them. To that end the paper also argues that both approaches endorse an unacceptably strong view of the justifiability of states and should therefore be rejected. The view in On Global Justice emerges vindicated, according to which territorial rights, the justification of states and immigration all need to be theorized together, and need to be theorized from a genuinely global standpoint.

“…Es verdad que Locke basa al menos parte de su teoría en la idea de que el hombre disfruta de algún tipo de propiedad sobre sí; empero a diferencia de las tesis de Nozick, Locke no supone que la auto-propiedad sea un derecho absoluto. Locke consideraba que el hombre es la criatura de un ser todopoderoso y por lo tanto está obligado hacia su creador (OLIVECRONA, 1974a;1974b). En este sentido, el hombre de Locke dispone de su propia persona de un modo condicionado: el trabajo de su cuerpo y la labor de sus manos puede decirse que son suyos de la mismo modo en que él es de Dios.…”

resumen En 1974, Robert Nozick publicó *Anarquía, Estado y Utopía*, una obra que, por primera vez, otorgaba estatus teórico a una de las corrientes del pensamiento neoliberal: el libertarianismo. En buena medida, el texto de Nozick se reclama como una relectura en clave de filosofía analítica de la teoría política de John Locke. En este artículo se ofrecen algunos argumentos para mostrar que, aunque la perspectiva de Nozick presenta ciertas similitudes retóricas con la obra del filósofo inglés, en cada uno de los puntos fundamentales (como por ejemplo la idea de derecho, la noción de persona, el papel de la política y los conceptos de justicia y bien público) Nozick se aparta claramente de las premisas lockeanas. Como conclusión, se sostiene que al alejarse de la concepción lockeana, Nozick defiende una sociedad en la que la política está ausente y en la que el Estado aparece, paradójicamente, menos limitado que en las concepciones liberales clásicas. palabras clave John Locke; Robert Nozick; Liberalismo; Bien Público; Política La publicación de Anarquía, Estado y Utopía (NOZICK, 1991, en adelante AEU) abrió dio paso a muchas reseñas críticas. En varias de estas reseñas se señaló que lo que tan polémicamente afirmaba Nozick (la imposibilidad de que un Estado más allá del Estado mínimo fuera aceptable moralmente) no era más que una traducción de las ideas de John Locke a una filosofía analítica y atea. Desde entonces, ha pasado mucho agua bajo el puente. Por un lado, los estudios contextualistas sobre Locke que se habían iniciado con los trabajos de Laslett (1988) y Dunn (1986) se multiplicaron, poniendo en duda algunas certezas sobre el papel de la

“…The fifth and final step is to explain the system of property in political society and its relation to the system of natural property in the state of nature. Locke does not discuss the issue in detail, noting in passing that political society establishes, by agreement, a legal system of property to determine, settle and regulate the property begun by labour and industry in the state of nature (11,38,45,50). Simmons defends the prevailing view that the foundations of property are established in the state of nature and the role of a legal system is simply "to clarify and enforce the principles of property" laid out in chapter 5 (315).…”

“…But he also argues against the more moderate view, advanced by Karl Olivecrona, Mark Goldie and myself, that although any legitimate property system is constrained by the natural principles of property and their exemplary application in the state of nature, a wide degree of what Locke calls "latitude" remains between this natural framework and its application in any political society (11,12), which is filled in by conventional considerations (what Locke calls "prudence") (309-10). 45 Hence, in A Discourse on Property I concluded that property systems are partly natural and partly conventional, and a plurality of property systems would satisfy Locke's natural principles. 46 In his discussion, Simmons recognizes the combination of natural and conventional elements in my interpretation (270, 309-10), at least most of the time (contrast 313), but he argues that the degree of conventionality is much narrower.…”
