Idea of Property in Law

The common sense view that the right to property is 'the right to things' has long been regarded by lawyers and philosophers as impossible to sustain, given the broad range of property in the law and the reliance of philosophers on ideas of 'property' or 'ownership' to explain complex issues like privacy or civil rights like freedom of speech. In this book a coherent and sensible idea of property is developed that vindicates the common sense view of property. Relying on Raz's work on norms and the structure of legal systems, the legal practice that regulates our interactions with things is set against the background of other laws.
