SUMMARY:Colloquium (Barry Maguire\, Edinburgh)
DESCRIPTION:As speaker for our second Fall 2025 colloquium\, the department is delighted to welcome Barry Maguire\, a professor of moral and political philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. Dr. Maguire’s current central research project is the development of an ethical theory based on an ideal of caring solidarity. This approach aims to integrate standards of justification in the ethics of economics\, political philosophy\, and moral philosophy. \nTalk Title\nSocialism and the Collective Ownership of the Means of Production \nTalk Abstract\nThis paper was co-authored with Jan Kandiyali. \nHistorically\, socialism has been identified with collective ownership of the means of production. However\, in the face of the purported failure of central planning\, and influential arguments about the necessity of markets and private ownership\, many contemporary socialists have sought to sever the link between socialism and collective ownership. Here\, we aim to rehabilitate a constitutive relationship between them. The argument proceeds in three main steps. First\, the heart of socialism is an ideal of caring solidarity. The idea of caring solidarity enjoins us to engage in the shared activity of caring about one another\, or in other words\, to do what we can to meet others’ needs collaboratively. Second\, caring solidarity constitutively involves collective planning of the means of production\, and that planning is possible only if there is collective control of those means. Third\, collective control is incompatible with private ownership of the means of production but instead would constitutively involve collective ownership. Hence socialism\, as caring solidarity\, would constitutively involve the collective ownership of the means of production.
