Moral Rights and Their Grounds offers a novel theory of rights
based on two distinct views. The first-the value view of
rights-argues that for a person to have a right is to be valuable
in a certain way, or to have a value property. This special type of
value is in turn identified by the reasons that others have for
treating the right holder in certain ways, and that correlate with
the value in question. David Alm then argues that the familiar
agency view of rights should be replaced with a different version
according to which persons' rights, and thus at least in part their
value, are based on their actions rather than their mere agency.
This view, which Alm calls exercise-based rights, retains some of
the most valuable features of the agency view while also defending
it against common objections concerning right loss. This book
presents a unique conception of exercise-based rights that will be
of keen interest to ethicists, legal philosophers, and political
philosophers interested in rights theory.
