NO EMPEORAR LA SITUACIÓN DE OTROS: LA ESTIPULACIÓN LOCKEANA Y LAS APROPIACIONES ORIGINARIAS EN LA TEORÍA DEL TÍTULO VÁLIDO DE NOZICK.

This paper reviews some of the most frequent objections against Nozick's version of Lockean Proviso. In particular, it examines two of them: the one that affirms that the stipulation is self-defeating and the one that, on the contrary, maintains that it is insufficient or to weak. Both criticisms are rejected. The first because it ignores Nozick's distinction between not diminishing the opportunities to use a specific good and the opportunities to appropriate it; the second because it erroneously assumes that the baseline of the stipulation is always in the state of nature. Finally, a formulation is offered on the principle of justice in acquisition that includes the stipulation restrictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
