Summary
“What we owe to each other” is a question that consumed the philosopher T. M. Scanlon, and more recently has been the focus of the popular sitcom The Good Place. This question can be framed very broadly: how does each individual in society interact with everyone else? This question can also be the launching point for a narrower inquiry: in light of unique circumstances, what does society owe its members, such as disabled individuals? Even more specifically, how do we translate what is “owed” disabled individuals into a regulatory regime that can carry out these obligations? The question of what is owed is especially important when considering our legal system because, generally, to provide an individual with a right means to impose an obligation on another actor.
