New In the Journals – December 2011

By On December 1, 2011 · 5 Comments · In Academic Philosophy, Book/Article Reviews, Libertarianism

This post continues the series started here, in which I present a selection of articles published or forthcoming in academic journals that might be of interest to readers of this blog.  As before, the focus is on articles in political philosophy, political theory, and legal theory.  And as before, if I’ve left out anything that you think our readers should take a look at, please feel free to share the information in the comments thread!

    I am not in favor of Matt Zwolinski’s defense of sweat shops. Libertarians are so typical. Anything that a liberal likes, a libertarian will argue will result in unintended consequences that outweighs any benefit.

    This predictable libertarian schtick is just plain old. It is no longer clever or cute, if it ever was.

    I wish Matt Zwolinski had to spend the rest of his life working in a sweat shop. If I were dictator, I would require it. He, after all, defends them. What better candidate to work in one?

      I like your personal attack.

      If you are so confident in your position why not list the points where you think Matt Zwolinski goes wrong and I don’t know actually engage in a logical, reasoned, civil debate and or discussion? That would be the grown up intelligent thing to do.

      Please go on. I would love to hear what you have to say on the subject other than condemning people who share different beliefs than you to slavery and or imprisonment.

      Guest, your political allies will be happy to learn that readers here understand that you do not speak for them. This is what politics does to people. Guest began with simple disagreement, but moved to  ridicule, misrepresentation, and a fantasy about enslaving political opponents in work camps. Surreal stuff.

    Guys, could you provide the right link of Ian Carter’s paper?
