Abstract

[fre] Le libertarisme de gauche et la justice. . Le libertarisme affirme que les agents sont - initialement, du moins - pleinement propriétaires d'eux-mêmes, et ne doivent donc aucun service à autrui, si ce n'est dans le cas de certaines actions volontaires. Les théories libertariennes les plus familières sont de droite en ce sens qu'elles imposent des conditions assez faibles à l'appropriation légitime. Les théories libertariennes de gauche, en revanche, affirment que les ressources naturelles sont la propriété des membres de la société dans un sens égalitaire et qu'elles ne peuvent faire l'objet d'une appropria­tion qu'avec la permission de la société, ou en échange d'un paiement substantiel. L'article examine les réponses principales que le libertarisme de gauche apporte à la question des droits aux ressources naturelles. [eng] Left-libertarian theories of justice. . Libertarian theories of justice hold that agents, at least initially, own themselves fully, and thus owe no service to others, except perhaps through voluntary action. The most familiar libertarian theories are right-libertarian in that they hold that natural resources are initially unowned and, under a broad range of realistic circumstances, can be privately appropriated without the consent of, or any significant payment to, the other members of society. Left-libertarian theories, by contrast, hold that natural resources are owned by the members of society in some egalitarian manner, and may be appropriated only with their permission, or with a significant payment to them. I examine the main implications of self-ownership and the main approaches that left-libertarianism can take to the ownership of natural resources.
