Preferred term
self-ownership
Definition
- The principle of self-ownership asserts that every person has a property in his or her own person and the labor of his or her body. Ever since the 17th-century political philosopher John Locke argued for self-ownership on the ground of self-preservation, many political philosophers, economists, and business ethicists have debated the meaning, extent, and political implications of selfownership.
