Judith Jarvis Thomson on abortion; a libertarian perspective1 I. Introduction Abortion is one of the most vexing issues faced by society. On the one hand, there are those who favor the pro-choice position. In their view, the woman, and she alone (along with the advice of her doctor – but the final decision must be hers), should be able to legally determine on what basis, and whether, her pregnancy should be conducted. She should be as free to end her pregnancy at any stage of the development of her fetus, or give birth to it after the usual term of nine months. On the other hand, there are those who favor what is called the pro-life position. In this perspective, the fetus, from the moment of conception, is a full rights-bearing human being.

  • The 2014 Freedom Project Wintersession Institute on Liberty and Social Policy Wellesley College
    The 2014 Freedom Project Wintersession Institute on Liberty and Social Policy Wellesley College Monday, January 20 9:30-11:30 Nigel Ashford, Institute for Humane Studies The Role of Government What is the role of government? This session examines the classical liberal answers to three questions. How do we decide what the role of government should be (philosophy or methodology)? Why should government be limited (consequences or rights)? What is the legitimate role of government? The different answers to those questions are presented in five different schools of classical liberalism: Chicago, Public Choice, Austrian, Natural Rights, and Anarcho-Capitalism. Students will share their answers to these questions in relation to these schools of thought. 1:30-3:30 Jason Brennan, Georgetown University Libertarianism, Democracy, and Government What we want government to be empowered to do depends in part on how well government will use that power. The very power we create to help secure our children’s future will often be used against our children instead. In the real world, we cannot just assume government agents will always act competently or in good faith. This session explores questions such as: What is government failure? Why do libertarians tend to oppose interventionist government? Why are libertarians not much excited by, and sometimes even hostile to, democracy? Tuesday, January 21 9:30-11:30 Jason Brennan, Georgetown University Economic Freedom and the Poor Libertarians are often said not to be concerned with social justice. Yet Adam Smith revolutionized economics by saying the wealth of nations is measured not by the size of the king’s castles, but by the opportunity available to the common person.

  • Love, Politics, and Autonomy
    LOVE, POLITICS, AND AUTONOMY NEERA KAPUR BADHWAR University of Toronto ECENT ANGLO-AMERICANPHILOSOPHY has seen a resurgence of Rinterest in the ethics and psychology of personal relations, and books and articles with such titles as Friendship, Altruism and Moral- ity, Philosophy and Personal Relations, and "Servility and Self- Respect" abound.' Two disparate developments have acted as catalyst for this turn: the discovery of Aristotelian ethics by analytic philosophers, and the politics and philosophy of feminism. The sub- ject of this paper is one aspect of the latter. It is easy to see why feminism should spark an interest in the philosophical study of personal relations; for feminism has always been born (and it has been born more than once) "from a recognition of personal oppression and inj~stice,"~an oppression and injustice fostered and justified by theories of inferior female nature and virtue. But this time around, the examination of the psychological prerequi- sites of healthy personal relations, and especially of healthy romantic love, has resulted in a startling phenomenon in academic philosophy- an explicit and self-conscious rejection of the ethics of self-sacrifice as an ethics that is incompatible with self-respect and autonomy and thereby, ultimately, destructive of genuine love. This theme is of course familiar to readers of novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand (whose contribution is, deplorably, not acknowledged by these writers), but it is revolutionary in academic philosophy. Unfor- tunately, the same writers who emphasize autonomy and the morality of "proper" self-love in the personal realm also for the most part ad- vocate statism-a political philosophy of sacrifice and coercion-as a means to this end.

Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press. 2001. Pp. xii, 320. $44.50. Professor Ju lie Novkov's Constituting Workers, Protecting Women1 examines the so-called Lochner era of American constitutional jurisprudence through the lens of the struggle over the constitutionality of "protective" labor legislation, su ch as maximum hours and minimum wage laws. Many of these laws applied only to women, and Novkov argues that the debate over the constitutionality of protective laws for women - laws that some women's rights advo­ cates saw as discriminatory legislation against women - ultimately had important implications for the constitutionality of protective labor legislation more generally.

An Abstract of “The Heart of the Battle Is Within:” Politically and Socially Rightist and Conservative Women and the Equal Rights Amendment by Chelsea A. Griffis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo May 2014 This dissertation analyzes the construction of divergent definitions of womanhood of politically and socially rightist and conservative women and how those definitions affected their stance for or against the Equal Rights Amendment. It argues that the way a woman defined her gender identity informed her position on the proposed amendment. Challenging the idea that all rightist and conservative women held a monolithic political ideology, this dissertation evaluates different women and women’s organizations of the right to show that this was not the case. Instead, some of these groups and individuals supported the ERA while opposed it.
