Plastic trees and gladiators: Liberalism and aesthetic regulation: Plastic trees and gladiators
Legal Theory 16 (2):77-90 (2010)
Abstract
The hallmark of modern liberalism is its embrace of the Millian harm principle and its antipathy to legal moralism. In this article I consider whether aesthetic regulations can be justified under the harm principle as that principle has been elaborated by Joel Feinberg. I conclude that aesthetic and other regulations that most liberals regard as unproblematic are actually instances of legal moralism.Author's Profile
