AbstractThis article helps to clear up some misunderstandings about the Will Theory of rights. Section 2 briefly outlines the Theories of Rights. Section 3 elucidates some salient differences amongst self‐described anti–Interest Theory accounts.

Section 5 then offers a candidate explanation of why people might subscribe to the Will Theory in the first place.
