CRITICAL REFLECTIONS ON OWNERSHIP
Book ID/图书代码： 04289515B83093
English Summary/英文概要： In this thought-provoking work, Mary Warnock explores what it is to own things, and the differences in our attitude to what we own and what we do not.
Starting from the philosophical standpoints of Locke and Hume, the ownership of gardens is presented as a prime example, exploring both private and common ownership, historically and autobiographically.
The author concludes that, besides pleasure and pride, ownership brings a sense of responsibility for what is owned and a fundamental question is brought to light: can we feel the same responsibility for what we do not, and never can, own? Applying this question to the natural world and the planet as a whole, a realistic and gradualist perspective is offered on confronting global environmental degradation. Critical Reflections on Ownership examines the effect of the Romantic Movement on our attitudes to nature and is a salient commentary on the history of ideas.
Providing an accessible entrance into moral philosophy and its practical applications, this book is an invaluable source for students in the fields of politics and philosophy. Academics interested in conceptions of ownership, and in the interface between philosophy, morality and politics, will find this deeply considered insight to be a stimulating read.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这部发人深思的作品之中，作者探索了所有权的本质，以及我们对属于自己所有的事物及不属于自己所有的事物的态度的不同之处。
本书从洛克和休谟的哲学观点谈起，将花园的所有权作为最显著的例子，从历史和自身的角度出发探索了私有和公有两大概念。
作者认为，除了愉悦感和自豪感，所有权还带来了对所拥有事物的责任感，因而产生一个基本的问题：我们对目前不拥有，并且在将来也无法拥有的事物是否会产生相同的责任感？将这一问题放到自然世界和整个宇宙之中，便为全球环境恶化提供了一个现实、渐进的思考角度。本书对政治学及哲学专业的学生来说是一部非常宝贵的信息来源。对所有权概念有兴趣的学者应该也会对这部洞见深刻的作品感兴趣。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：“Mary Warnock的这部作品对所有权的意义进行了深刻的思考和探索。作品首先探索了我们对所拥有事物的责任和爱；然后深入研究了我们与无法拥有的（特别是自然世界）事物之间的关系。本书对于希望深入、清晰思考全球环境灾难，并严肃对待这一问题的人来说都是一部必读作品。”——J E Penner，作家
‘Mary Warnock’s Critical Reflections on Ownership is a sustained meditation on the significance that ownership has for us from one of our finest philosophical voices. First exploring the responsibility and love we have for things that are owned, she goes on to provide a penetrating investigation of the relationship we have to those things which we do not, indeed cannot, own, in particular the natural world. Critical Reflections on Ownership is required reading for anyone who wants to think deeply, and clearly, about the prospect of a global environmental cataclysm and what we might do to address it.’– J E Penner, author of The Idea of Property in Law
