Abstract

It is not a coincidence that in recent times questions pertaining to the emergence and justification of property were rarely the subject of the theoretical examinations of the various scientific disciplines. As a look into the history of science shows, it is precisely the acceptance of ownership that contributed to the splitting up of disciplines, especially the splitting up of economics and law, that respectively caused a distinction of functions between them at all.5 In order to answer questions on the justification and emergence of ownership, it is sensible, after a short historical review of ancient and medieval conceptions, to throw a glance at the early modern age — at that age in which the justification of ownership (and rights) was the center of attention in philosophical discussions.
