Virtue and the Common Good in Liberal Theory
The Journal of Politics, 1993Co-Authors: Lyle Downing, Robert ThigpenAbstract:Rights-oriented Liberal Theory faces a dilemma. In a well-ordered society, citizens must share virtues that are generated in nonpolitical groups, but the Liberal state cannot prescribe a way of life without violating Liberal principles. Communitarians who are committed to freedom offer little help in confronting this dilemma because they lack a Theory of the state. Liberalism can overcome its dilemma by reformulating the idea of the common good and by distinguishing it from both the right and the good. As predispositions that help to attain the common good, nonpolitical virtues may receive government support, provided people may reject these virtues in their own life plans.

A Liberal Theory of Property (Ch 1 + Ch 9)
2020Co-Authors: Hanoch DaganAbstract:Property enhances autonomy for most people, but not for all. Because it both empowers and disables, property requires constant vigilance. “A Liberal Theory of Property” addresses key questions: how can property be justified? What core values should property law advance, and how do those values interrelate? How is a Liberal state obligated to act when shaping property law? In a Liberal polity the primary commitment to individual autonomy dominates the justification of property, founding it on three pillars: carefully delineated private authority, structural (but not value) pluralism, and relational justice. A genuinely Liberal property law meets the legitimacy challenge confronting property by expanding people’s opportunities for individual and collective self-determination while carefully restricting their options of interpersonal domination. “A Liberal Theory of Property” shows how the three pillars of Liberal property account for core features of existing property systems, provide a normative vocabulary for evaluating central doctrines, and offer directions for urgent reforms.

Social Justice, Procreative Liberty, and the Limits of Liberal Theory: Robertson's "Children of Choice"
Law & Social Inquiry, 1995Co-Authors: Dorothy E. RobertsAbstract:Liberal Theory is under fire from a number of fronts. Communitarians have rejected Liberalism's focus on atomistic individuals and its bracketing of moral reasoning in favor of collective responsibility and deliberation about the common good.' Dominance and relational feminists have argued that Liberalism reflects a masculine perspective that privileges patriarchal interests and exalts separateness over connection.2 Critical race scholars have criticized neutral Liberal principles such as colorblindness for helping

Toward a Liberal Theory of Punishment: Locke, Property, and Individualism
World Political Science, 2013Co-Authors: Alfonso DonosoAbstract:By offering a critical analysis of Nicolas Maloberti’s recent Theory and justification of punishment, this article accounts for a series of principles and considerations that any Liberal and Lockean Theory of punishment must take seriously. Indeed, this article contends that Locke’s conception of the state –an institution grounded on the right to punish violators of natural rights– and the basic character of the right to property within that scheme of rights, are elements that should lead us to affirm that no genuine Liberal Theory of punishment can dispense with the political character of the right to punish.

Hacia una teoría Liberal del castigo: locke, propiedad e individualismo* Towards a Liberal Theory of Punishment: Locke, Property and Individualism
2012Co-Authors: Alfonso DonosoAbstract:RESUMEN a partir del analisis critico de la teoria y propuesta de justificacion del castigo penal de nicolas maloberti, este articulo avanza una serie de principios y consideraciones que cualquier teoria Liberal y lockeana del castigo debe tomar seriamente. este articulo argumenta que la concepcion del estado de Locke –una institucion fundada parcial pero significativamente en el derecho a castigar a quien viole derechos naturales– y el caracter basico del derecho a la propiedad dentro de ese esquema de derechos naturales, son elementos que deben llevarnos a afirmar que cualquier teoria genuinamente Liberal del castigo no puede prescindir del caracter politico del derecho a castigar. Palabras clave: teoria Liberal del castigo, Locke, derecho a la propiedad, maloberti.
