Explanation / Answer

ans of 11 question

Otsuka affirms a libertarian right of self-ownership that incorporates these two rights:

(1) A very stringent right of control over and use of one’s mind and body that bars others from intentionally using one as a means by forcing one to sacrifice life, limb, or labour, where such force operates by means of incursions or threats of incursions upon one’s mind and body (including assault and battery and forcible arrest, detention, and imprisonment)

(2) A very stringent right to all of the income that one can gain from one’s mind and body (including one’s labour) either on one’s own or through unregulated and untaxed voluntary exchanges with other individuals. 11 He then exploits the fact that self-ownership so understood is entirely silent on the topic of world ownership. Anything goes, so far as self-ownership is concerned. One who asserts self-ownership is then at liberty to embrace any claims about world ownership.

He opts for egalitarianism in the form of equal opportunity for welfare.

According to him t one’s appropriation and use of the land are compatible with everyone’s having the opportunity to improve her condition to the same absolute level, improvements in an individual’s condition being measured in terms of satisfaction of the self-interested preferences she would have “after ideal deliberation while thinking clearly with full pertinent information regarding those preferences.” This equal opportunity for welfare norm also regulates the distribution of material resources (parts of the earth) in an ongoing society in which all valuable resources have already been appropriated.
