Alexander, "Pluralism and Property"
A very interesting piece by Gregory Alexander involving value monism and value pluralism in property law (h/t Larry Solum). The influence of value pluralism on legal theory has been somewhat sporadic by comparison with other theories of value -- Steve Shiffrin has made some excellent inroads primarily (though not exclusively) in free speech, as has Brad Wendel a bit in professional responsibility. Paul Horwitz talks about incommensurability in his book. And Alexander charts a course for property scholarship here. Perhaps more soon.
