4The return of leviathan: Can we prevent it?Formulations 3 (3). 1996.Two years ago, at our Spring 1994 Forum on Systems of Law, I suggested that those seeking to build and maintain a Free Nation would face three problems, which I called "the three Leviathans": "Leviathan Past (that is, the dangers posed by the state presently occupying the territory within which the Free Nation is to arise), Leviathan Present (that is, the dangers posed, once the Free Nation has arisen, by the threat of other states existing outside the Free Nation's territory), and Leviathan Yet…Read more

2Virtual CantonsIn Aviezer Tucker & Gian Piero De Bellis (eds.), Panarchy: Political Theories of Non-Territorial States, Routledge. pp. 227-233. 2015.What would the constitution of a free nation look like?

2Defending a Free NationIn Edward Stringham (ed.), Anarchy and the Law: The Political Economy of Choice, Transaction Publishers. pp. 149-162. 2007.This question presupposes a prior question: would a free nation need to defend itself from foreign aggression?

Free Choice and Indeterminism in Aristotle and Later AntiquityDissertation, Cornell University. 1992.Incompatibilism is the claim that a human choice, in order to be free and responsible, must not be causally determined. The thesis of this dissertation is that Aristotle, along with several of his successors, accepts an account of human free choice that is both incompatibilist and philosophically attractive. ;Part One begins by setting out Aristotle's account of potentiality; this account, it is maintained, endorses determinism for non-human phenomena, but leaves open the possibility of indeterm…Read more
