Robert Nozick on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 125 Terminology/Nozick/Gaus: „Lockean proviso“/Nozick: (a term coined by Nozick, 1974: 178)(1). A Lockean proviso specifies some way in which people’s otherwise unobjectionable acquisition, possession, or deployment of private property can have an objectionable net impact upon other individuals, for instance, by making those other individuals worse off than they would be were private property not to exist. An advocate of such a proviso holds that acquisition, possession, or deployment of private property that would have an objectionable impact will, nevertheless, be acceptable if the acquirers, possessors or deployers compensate those individuals so that the net impact is not objectionable (Gaus, 1999(2): ch. 9). 1.
