2 Is there a ‘standard concept (or concepts)’ of rights in our community? (Narveson is concerned to expose a moral confusion so it cannot be any legal concept he has in mind.) I want only to ask whether there is in our community a ‘standard’ concept or concepts of what a person has a rightto. Is there moral agreement in our community as to what a personis morally entitled to? Narveson assumes or implies that there is. It remains to be shown that there is.
