Margaret Radin

Margaret Radin is a legal scholar known for exploring how personal objects and possessions shape our identity and sense of self. She argues that beyond their economic value, items we own hold emotional and moral significance, influencing our dignity and relationships. Radin emphasizes that laws regarding property should recognize this deeper connection, respecting people's attachments and the ways possessions help define who they are. Her work encourages a broader understanding of ownership that considers human dignity, social bonds, and the moral importance of our connection to the things we possess.
