- W1522087175 abstract "This thesis builds a normative theory of tort law by exploring the philosophical foundationsof harm, actionability and corrective duties. In chapters 1 and 2 I survey previous literaturein tort theory, arguing that normative questions have generally been neglected in favour ofinterpretive ones. I also defend the case-based methodology, familiar to moral philosophers,which I employ throughout. In chapter 3 I investigate the metaphysics of harm, making twoclaims: first, we should define harm as setback to wellbeing, and second, we should accept acomplex version of the counterfactual view. In chapter 4 I distinguish between twofundamental forms of corrective action – negating and counterbalancing – and argue thatthey have important implications for tort theory. In chapter 5 I inquire whether a victim’sfalse beliefs about her wellbeing should have any impact on her claim to compensationagainst a wrongdoer. Chapter 6 offers a critique of George Fletcher’s theory of reciprocity asa moral basis for corrective duties. Having rejected it, I propose a set of alternativeprinciples that more plausibly explains our judgement about whether an injurer ought tocompensate her victim. Finally, chapter 7 discusses the relationship between corrective anddistributive justice. I argue that, contrary to the claims of some theorists, corrective justicecannot be insulated from distributive justice." @default.
