— Some of those theorists who believe tort law consists of relational wrongs also believe, under the influence of Kant’s legal philosophy, that tort law is concerned for the agency of the two parties to a wrongful interaction. I argue that these theorists should discard their agency framework. It distorts our view of tort doctrine and does not really fit the law’s relational structure. We can reach a better understanding just by pursuing the idea that torts are relational wrongs. I try to diagnose and suggest cures for the intellectual tendencies that lead Kantian theorists away from this approach.

侵权理论中的关系错误与代理

——一些认为侵权法包含关系不法行为的理论家也认为，在康德法哲学的影响下，侵权法关注的是不法行为的两方当事人的能动性。我认为这些理论家应该放弃他们的代理框架。它扭曲了我们对侵权法的看法，并不真正符合法律的关系结构。只要追求侵权是关系错误的想法，我们就可以更好地理解。我试图诊断和建议治疗导致康德理论家远离这种方法的智力倾向。
