    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Even minimal norm-awareness in humans involves implicit claims about differential entitlements between agents.
      ?

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Norm-awareness involves recognizing behavioral constraints, which is conceptually simpler than individuated property rights.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Historical societies enforced permissions/duties via custom without explicit 'rights' vocabulary or conceptual framework.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
