Abstract

AbstractI defend theDoctrine ofDoing andAllowing: the claim that doing harm is harder to justify than merely allowing harm. A thing does not genuinely belong to a person unless he has special authority over it. TheDoctrine ofDoing andAllowing protects us against harmful imposition – against the actions or needs of another intruding on what is ours. This protection is necessary for something to genuinely belong to a person. The opponent of theDoctrine must claim that nothing genuinely belongs to a person, even his own body.
