Stumbled upon this video as I concluded my philosophical year. What a happy find! Wish you all to reap your own basil in 2023.

A Theory of Justice in Holdings (as opposed to Rawls' Distributive Justice") 1:00- responsibility 1:40- Three Basic Components to his theory of Justice in Holdings: 1:45- 1) principle of Justice in acquisition 3:30- 2) principle of justice in transfer 5:12- 3) principal of rectification (this whole theory is just a huge, watertight case for affirmative action and reparations for black people and indigenous people. A more fitting American philosophy, I could not think of one.) 6:46- chain of holdings that goes back to original acquisition. 9:52- how the holding came about 11:51- patterned theory 13:55- summary

Mr Bonevac just wanted to say that I'm going through my law exam at the moment so all these justice videos have been perfect 😂 Thank you very much! 🙏

Dworkin discussing Nozick's critique of patterned theories - and why he thinks the critique doesn't hold up kzbin.info/www/bejne/ime0p56CeKiBhJI "His (Nozick) arguments tend to be all or nothing ... of the form: it would be obviously impossible to prevent any (all) exchanges therefore it follows that, if that is a great injustice, a little interference with liberty is also an injustice... and of course that doesn't follow... A threshold of degree and kind of interference (of the state).. taxing Wilt Chamberlain at the end of the year and saying 'you've got to give back half' is not the kind of interference with liberty it would be to say 'no one can pay money to see him play basketball'. Those are two different things."

Can you make a video about Hayek - distributive justice/social justice. Katallatein.

NOZICK OVER RAWLS ANYDAY!

Nice joke.

[@vaclavmiller8032]

Nah.

[@ultraviolence96]

Yessss

[@dann6067]

Nozick supporters have no inherent moral worth.

Wage slave labor did not make your baseball? Did the oil in your car come from Iraq or Saudi? Was the plot of land taken from Natives who had a just use of it?

[@PhiloofAlexandria]

Costa Rica doesn’t have slavery.

[@PhiloofAlexandria]

And the oil in my car comes from Texas or Pennsylvania.

[@Baczkowa78]

@@PhiloofAlexandria I don’t think it’s possible to know the ethics of acquisition of your baseball, and there might be some debate about Costa Rica too. That was where all baseballs were produced in the 1970s? Even if you could somehow prove provenance, you’d have a harder time to prove the ethics of that Apple Watch; and even if you know some of the components, some derivative components would not fit the bill for being ethical, let alone the factory labour that put it together in China. It’s just a dilemmatic theory. Nozick really struck out with this one, to cop a pun from the Dave Parker story. And as for the ethics of mineral rights. Sheesh, don’t get me started (no matter where it came from!)

[@MrJoeybabe25]

@@Baczkowa78 If we were to worry, really concern ourselves about an unbroken chain of justice in transfer, the life of free trade would, perhaps, have at the very least a big crimp put upon it. Does the chain of trade have to be perfect in every way, moral in its principles all up and down the chain? Are we to morally bound to find some way to remedy a possible injustice to be the beneficiaries of the trade? Say I'm sitting on land that was stolen in the middle of the chain of ownership, what is my responsibility (if any) to mending or repairing the situation?

[@Baczkowa78]

@@MrJoeybabe25 I suppose if a bank robber dropped a bill, it changed hands hundreds of times or just once; then I came along and found it, and used it to buy something, maybe I shouldn’t try and establish custody: but land for me is something else, and everything derived from it, like mineral rights. I mean, if someone can walk up to you and use a Bible to show ownership, I’m sure all forms of theft are possible.
