Locke, John 1689 Two Treatises of Government=1968 鵜飼信成訳, 『市民政府論』,岩波文庫

 “Though the Earth, and all inferior Creatures be common to all Men, yet every Man has a Property in his own Person. This no Body has any Right to but himself. The Labour of his Body, and the Work of his Hands, we may say, are properly his. Whatsoever, then, he removes out of the State that Nature hath provided and left it in, he hath mixed his Labour with, and joyned to it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his Property.” (Locke 1689=1868:32-33; 1988:287-288,sec.27, cited in Tateiwa 1997:25)

Kant, Immanuel 1764/65 "Bemerken zu den Beobachtungen über das Gefühl des Schöne und Erhabenen"=1966 tr. by Owatari, Tatsuo (尾渡 達雄),The Complete Works of Kant, Vol.16 :259-355,Risosha (理想社), =2011 tr. by Frierson, Patrick and Guyer, Paul Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime and Other Writings,Cambridge University Press, 399p. ASIN: B004W66OHQ [amazon] <24>

 "The body is mine for it is a part of my I and is moved by my faculty of choice (Willkur) The entire animated or unanimated world that does not have its own faculty of choice is mine, in so far as I can compel it and move it according to my faculty of choice. The sun is not mine. The same holds for another human being, therefore nobody's property is a Proprietat or an exclusive property. But in so far as I want to appropriate something exclusively to myself, I will, at least, not presuppose the other's will or his actions as being opposed to mine. I will therefore perform those actions that designate what is mine, cut down the tree, mill it, etc. The other human being tells me that this is his, for throuhg the actions of his faculty of choice, it belongs to his own self, as it were."(Kant 1764/65=1966:309, =2011:110, cited in Tateiwa 1997:1→2013:24)

  cf. tr. by Miyasato "My body belongs to me. That is because my body is part of my ego and is driven by my will. As long as I can coerce it and move it around with my will, the world that has no individual will or the entire inanimate world is mine. The sun is not mine. The same is true of other human beings. Thus, any proprietary rights (proprietas) are not exclusively a proprietary right. However, as long as I desire to exclusively own a certain thing, at least I would not presuppose others' will as being against my own will, nor would I presuppose that action is contrary to my own action. Therefore, I will implement the actions that symbolize my own possessions, like cutting trees; I would work these into various things. Other might say to me, "That is mine." That is because it belongs to me by my actions of selective will." (Kant 1764/65=1966:309, cited in Tateiwa 1997:1)

  "Man, pursuant to his immediate existence within himself, is something natural, external to his concept. It is only through the development of his own body and mind, essentially through his self-consciousness's apprehension of itself as free, that he takes possession of himself and becomes his own property and no one else's " (Hegel 1821=1952:26, Sec.57, cited in Tateiwa 1997:32)

 "(Our main conclusions about the state are that) a minimal state, limited to the narrow function of protection against force, theft, fraud, enforcement of contracts, and so on, is justified; that any more extensive state will violate a person's right not to be forced to do certain things, and is unjustified."

  from Chapter 1, Translation by Robert Chapeskie
  "What do I own? In other words (see the discussion above), over what do I posses the right of determination? In considering only the right of self determination we may not normally be aware of this sort of question. This is because in most cases it is understood from the start what sorts of things we ought to have the right to determine ourselves. In practice, of course, these rights are not always recognized; patients have not had the right of self determination in regard to their own medical care, and disabled people have been stripped of many of their rights of self determination. These are problems that are currently receiving attention within Japanese society. For people who desire reform in this area, however, the meaning of "matters related to myself" is generally understood to be concretely defined in sentences like "I should have the right to decide in matters related to myself". It is taken as self-evident. But what is it that belongs to me? Someone decides, and if we call these various deciding agents "selves", what is it that each of these selves is to be given the right to decide? What sorts of things should I be able to decide for myself? In other words, what is it that I own? Without an answer to this question the term "self determination" is meaningless. For example, if the "I" in "I should have the right to decide in matters related to myself" refers only to me, the author of this book, then everyone in the world must do as I say. To say "I should have the right to decide in matters related to myself" raises the question of what constitutes "matters related to myself", that is, what is their scope or limit. There is then also the question of why this limit should serve as a basis for self determination. Private ownership, and ownership itself, are therefore concepts that require further consideration.
  Some might suggest that who owns what, and by extension what it is that the rights of each individual ought to apply to, is already clear. For me at least, however, this is not the case; the extremely normal workings of this society are themselves problematic. Is it really clear that "the results of my labor should belong to me"? At the same time, is there any way for us to get away from this idea? There are those who have said that this system imparts an unfair disadvantage to people whose poor mental or physical condition makes it impossible for them to be productive. This actually is the case in our society, and it is completely validabsolutely correct to point this out; this fact is part of the basic structure of our society and as a result this claim of unfairness is a fundamental criticism of how our society is constructed. But where has this criticism lead in the end? It deals with such a fundamental issue that finding a way to address it has proved difficult. It is a question that seems left over from a much earlier era, but in fact it has not been around that long, having first received attention in Japan around 1970, where right from the start it was presented as a more or less irresolvable problem. I observed the emergence of this intractable issue first hand, but I was dissatisfied with its lack of resolution and decided to consider it further. Another narrative that emerged was the conclusion that after various other systems had been tried the "market economy" was the only viable option and should be pursued; any problems it might pose could be solved through methods like creating a "welfare state". But should this really be the end of debate on the question of the fundamental economic system? I can'tnot accept this assertion of uncomplicated resolution with no further conflict. But neither can I also can't side with those who wantonly criticize the system without presenting a solution; i. If we take issue with meritocratic systems based on capability and performance, can we really just do away with them? What can we propose to replaceing them with?
 To what extent, then, has this issue already been considered?" (Tateiwa 1997:3-4)
