:The idea of self-ownership has played a prominent role in justifying normative conclusions in moral and political philosophy. I argue that whether or not we are self-owners, there is no such role for it to play. Self-ownership is better thought a conclusion of moral and political arguments rather than their source. I then begin to explore an alternative idea—that the self is morally significant—that provides what those who rely on self-ownership ought to be looking for.

所有权和自我的道德意义

: 自我所有权的概念在证明道德和政治哲学中的规范性结论方面发挥了突出作用。我认为，无论我们是否是自我拥有者，它都不会扮演这样的角色。自我所有权最好被认为是道德和政治论点的结论，而不是其来源。然后我开始探索另一种想法——自我在道德上是重要的——它提供了那些依赖自我所有权的人应该寻找的东西。
