Abstract
Abstract This chapter turns to the idea of public property. Public property is contrasted with private property by showing how public property does not involve any idea of yours and mine, but instead involves an idea of something belonging to all members of the public at the same time. This illuminates our intuitive understanding of our experiences on public property, the rights we have to access it, and the ways in which the state can regulate it. It also allows us to see how certain kinds of private property are held open to the public and so regulated as if they were public, explaining rules about public accommodations. Finally, this chapter returns to some of the justificatory considerations from Chapter 2 and shows why the society of equals needs both private and public property.
