• VESTING AGENT-RELATIVE PERMISSIONS IN A PROXY Bazargan-Forward, Saba 2018 Law and Philosophy , Vol. 37 , Issue 6 , S. 671 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0167-5249 | 1573-0522 Abstract

    We all have agent-relative permissions to give extra weight to our own well-being. If you and two strangers are drowning, and you can save either yourself or two strangers, you have an agent-relative permission to save yourself. But is it possible for you to Vest' your agent-relative permissions in a third party a 'proxy' - who can enact your agent-centered permissions on your behalf, thereby permitting her to do what would otherwise be impermissible? Some might think that the answer is 'no'; it is definitive of agent-centered permissions that they apply only to the individuals ineliminably referenced in the content ofthat reason, which means that they lack reason-giving force for any ostensible proxy. The purpose of this paper is to (i) show that vesting agent-relative permissions is indeed possible, (ii) provide an account of how agent-relative permissions are vested by considering the structure of rights more generally, and (iii) show that we have a right to vest such permission in this way.
