Abstract

My comments will proceed in two parts. In Part I, I will briefly describe and summarize the study of moral psychology, indicating how it might apply to property law. And in Part II, I will analyze Property and Social Morality through the lens of moral psychology, showing how Professor Gerhart’s project may be advanced through a richer understanding of the content of our ethical beliefs about property and the psychological mechanisms that give rise to them.
