405A World for Us: the Case for Phenomenalistic Idealism – John FosterPhilosophical Quarterly 59 (237): 740-743. 2009.A controversy in political philosophy and applied ethics concerns the validity of duty‐imposing powers, that is, rights entitling one person to impose new duties on others without their consent.
