  • More about Reciprocal Freedom: Private Law and Public Right


Reciprocal Freedom by Weinrib develops a set of interconnected conceptions of private law, corrective justice, rights, ownership, legal institutions, distributive justice, constitutional rights, and the rule of law. It is explicitly Kantian in inspiration and presents a non-instrumental account of law that is geared to the juridical character of the modern liberal state.

Format: Hardback
Length: 240 pages
Publication date: 22 September 2022
Publisher: Oxford University Press


Reciprocal Freedom delves into the intricate interplay between private law and the state, unveiling reciprocal freedom as the guiding principle underlying a legal order where private law assumes a distinct position. Weinrib presents a comprehensive framework of interconnected concepts, encompassing private law, corrective justice, rights, ownership, the role of legal institutions, distributive justice, the relationship between constitutional rights and private law, and the rule of law. Drawing inspiration from Kantian philosophy, the book offers a non-instrumental account of law tailored to the juridical nature of the modern liberal state. By seamlessly blending legal and philosophical analysis, it presents a sequential and legally informed argument for comprehending law as an essential prerequisite for our coexistence as free individuals.
