Rights & Right-Holding: A Philosophical Investigation. An Interview with Professor Matthew Kramer

 
ABSTRACT:
This interview, hosted by Linda Cianci (Lindagine), with Professor Matthew Kramer, one of the most esteemed legal philosophers and a full professor at Cambridge University, delves into his latest academic work, Rights and Right-Holding: A Philosophical Investigation. Several critical themes are discussed, including the relationship between law and morality, the nature of rights, and the challenges posed by emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence. A key focus of the interview is the distinction between the interest theory and the will theory, particularly in relation to the protection of vulnerable individuals or groups. Professor Kramer defends the interest theory against objections raised by proponents of the will theory. The conversation also highlights the importance of clarifying different types of universal quantification in Kramer's work and its significance for both legal practitioners and scholars.
