Research Focus

Dr. Eva Weiler’s research lies at the intersection of political philosophy, property theory, and environmental ethics, with a specific focus on the normative foundations of ownership and resource distribution. Her work critically examines the historical and philosophical development of property rights, particularly how Enlightenment theories transitioned from the idea of original common ownership to modern concepts of private property. In her 2025 article “Property’s Entanglement with the Future”, she explores the shift from productivist economic models toward commons-based approaches, highlighting sustainability and intergenerational justice. Her 2024 publication in Zeitschrift für Politische Theorie investigates why classical theories failed to evolve from communal to common property frameworks and proposes methodological pathways for rethinking ownership. Dr. Weiler’s research significantly contributes to contemporary debates on climate ethics, legal pluralism, and the governance of natural resources, making her a key voice in reimagining property beyond extractive capitalism toward more equitable and ecological systems.
