    • 1.Even if property is a product of social rules, facts about the human condition and embodied agency can provide philosophical premises for normative arguments about property.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Persons have an intimate pre-legal relation to their own bodies that bears philosophical analysis.

    Reasons Against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Hegel's own account of embodied agency ultimately grounds property rights in mutual recognition by a community of free persons, not bare biological facts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Facts about human embodiment underdetermine property arrangements, since they are compatible with collective, communal, and individual ownership schemes alike.

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Locke's labor-mixing argument, the paradigm case of grounding property in agency, relies on a prior conventional assumption that labor can generate entitlements.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Hume demonstrated that property conventions are self-reinforcing social artifacts whose stability and legitimacy derive from mutual expectation, not pre-social agency facts.
