from Part II - Hohfeld and Property
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2022
I come neither to celebrate nor to disparage Hohfeld, but to parley with him. Perhaps it is worth exploring why the former courses are said to be on the table, depending upon one’s preferred strand of property theory. After all, Hohfeld’s project is presented as purely analytical. He does not purport to tell us what the substantive contents of the law should be, but merely to provide tools that permit unambiguous analytical description of a given positive landscape. There is no reason why a project thus conceived should necessarily be in tension with any particular substantive theory of property law.
