Summary of Scott Hershovitz's Nasty, Brutish, and Short

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I love drawing a bath for my kids. It’s the only time I get to be alone, and I can’t wait. But when my kids are tired, their kinetic energy increases and their self-control self-destructs.

#2 Rights are not physical possessions, but rather normative protections generated by the norms of good behavior. Someone who is trying to act well would not take Tigey without your permission, but not everyone tries to act well.

#3 Rights are relationships. They are claims that someone has on something else. They can be good against multiple people, or good against everyone. They are not inside you, but they are not outside of you either.

#4 When you have a right, someone else has an obligation. Rights are relationships, and two people are part of every right: the right holder and the obligation bearer. Rights and responsibilities travel together. They are the same relationship described from different sides.
