The guest today is Jason Lee Byas. Byas is currently a Junior Faculty Fellow at the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets & Ethics, and starting this fall will be Assistant Professor of Philosophy & Political Economy at Tulane University, with a coappointment at the Murphy Institute. His research focuses on criminal punishment, reparations, and other forms of responding to wrongdoing, along with (as is our focus here) ways of thinking about justice beyond the state. Our conversation today focuses on some recent work Jason has done on the role of expressive values in criticisms of libertarianism, as well as an anarchistic conception of justice that avoids many of the problems conceptions of the connection between justice and agency common in analytic political philosophy have.
