Quotes by Bart J. Wilson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The stumbling block to overcome is to accept that property is not just an external restraint imposed upon the individual, but that property socializes the individual's conduct to fit with the external world, to fit with what is right. Moreover, we have to be open to the possibility that commerce may be an integral part of that socializing and ethicizing process (178).”
Bart J. Wilson, The Property Species: Mine, Yours, and the Human Mind

“[A] rule of property arises out of our background knowledge of what is right, which includes protecting us from real and positive hurt (87)”
Bart J. Wilson, The Property Species: Mine, Yours, and the Human Mind

“What is right regarding things is not derived from the rules of property, but a rule of property arises from our background knowledge of what is right regarding people and things. (19)”
Bart J. Wilson, The Property Species: Mine, Yours, and the Human Mind
