It gives me great pleasure to welcome the newest addition to BHL – Bas van der Vossen! Bas is currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, specializing in political philosophy and the philosophy of law. He’s published a number of interesting papers, all of which are available on his website, on topics such as state legitimacy, the duty to obey the law, and original appropriation. For a quick impression of his take on that last subject, I’d encourage you to take a look at this blog post he did for the Library of Law and Liberty, responding to a piece by Edward Feser (from his post-libertarian period).

I’m excited to have Bas with us, and look forward to a lot of good conversations with him. Please join me in welcoming him to the blog!
