Question
This book imagines a person “spraying pink enamel paint on a piece of driftwood” to argue against the claim that laboring always produces value. This book uses a “zipper argument” to show that another thinker’s theory renders any original act of appropriation unjust. The “epistemic border crossing principle” is used in this book to defend permissible encroachments of individual rights. In a section contrasting (*) “historical” and “patterned” theories, this book argues that a person is only entitled to a holding if it was justly acquired and justly transferred. The example of pouring tomato juice into the ocean is used to criticize the labor mixing theory of property in this book, which argues against distributive justice by imagining people choosing to give money to Wilt Chamberlain. For 10 points, a minimal state is advocated for in what response to A Theory of Justice by Robert Nozick? ■END■
