Description
I. INTRODUCTION More than two centuries after our Revolution, we Americans are still arguing over the nature, and even the coherence, of three of the natural rights in whose name the Revolution was fought. We contest (because it is also truly contestable in serious ethical discussions) whether the rights to equality (1) and to property (2) are either conceptually coherent or normatively desirable. The same conceptual and ethical queries exist for liberty, conceived of either as a right or as a value: Some contest its conceptual coherence, others pooh-pooh its plausibility as a basic value or as a general right. (3) Such skepticisms about liberty raise several large questions: What is liberty? Why is it valuable? Can there be a general right to liberty?
