Indeed, had I not Locke's famous chapter, "Of Property," in mind, I would have better entitled this essay, "The Concept of Ownership” since we are concerned here with the special relationship which may hold between a person and a physical object called “owning” in virtue of which the latter may be called “personal property” or “a possession”.
