Analyse & Kritik 17 (2):232-235 (1995)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

I try to show that Steiner's theory has very implausible normative consequences since it does not accept the prima facie character or rights. This theory is unable to solve the conflicts of interests in which the only intuitively plausible solution consists in overriding someone's rights
