Abstract

Abstract This chapter contends that the liberties correctly classifiable as basic are susceptible to being equally enjoyed at the same time by everyone (equal co-enjoyment), important in the lives of normal human beings (personal significance), and not legitimately subject to any restrictions beyond those necessary to satisfy the requirement of equal co-enjoyment. It draws upon Hart's critique of John Rawls in order to develop his account of the chief characteristics of the basic liberties.
