The accurate interpretation of Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s argumentation ethics inevitably leads to the conclusion that appropriation of creative works ought to be rejected since only tangibles can and need to be owned for artistic conceptions are ideal, not-scarce (non-excludable and non-rivalrous) objects. Moreover, their ownership would inevitably lead to a conflict over titles to their exemplars. Incorporeal rights are thus inconsistent with both the praxeological axiom and absoluteness of negative rights. Hence, an attempt to introduce “artificial scarcity” through positive copyright law is unethical. It disregards the fundamental rules of any rational ethics: universality (equality before the law) and operationality (suitability for mankind survival) because it interferes with the propertarian axiom of self-ownership and the principle of non-aggression. Therefore, a property in artistic conceptions is neither rationally feasible nor indispensable and entails self-contradiction of any deontological theory based on rules of praxeology.

Celem prezentowanego artykułu jest wskazanie związków zachodzących pomiędzy Hansa-Hermanna Hoppego libertariańską etyką argumentacyjną a transcendentalną pragmatyką Karla-Otto Apla ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zaproponowanej przez tego ostatniego myśliciela konsensualnej teorii prawdy. Dokładniej rzecz ujmując, zdaniem autora teoria Hoppego jest logicznie zależna od Apla poglądów na kwestię prawdy. Oryginalne argumenty Apla wypełniają bowiem kluczowe luki w dokonanym przez Hoppego ugruntowaniu tzw. "a priori komunikacji i argumentacji". Dodatkowo, artykuł zawiera argumentację na rzecz interpretowania etyki Hoppego jako teorii racjonalnej wolności od konfliktów, czemu najlepiej odpowiada właśnie podejście transcendentalno-pragmatyczne. Wreszcie, autor wysuwa kilka uwag odnośnie do najpopularniejszych obiekcji przeciwko teorii Hoppego, które przezwyciężyć można na bazie transcendentalnej pragmatyki i zasady wolności od konfliktów.

The purpose of the presented paper is to showcase the links between Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s libertarian argumentation ethics and Karl-Otto Apel’s transcendental pragmatics with a special reference to the consensus theory of truth proposed by the latter thinker. More specifically, the author contends that Hoppe’s theory is logically contingent on Apel’s views on truth in that some crucial gaps in Hoppe’s grounding of the so-called “a priori of communication and argumentation” are filled by Apel’s original arguments. Additionally, the paper provides a case for interpreting Hoppe's ethics as a theory of rational conflict-freedom, which seems to cohere best with the transcendental-pragmatist approach. Finally, the author offers a few remarks on how the most common objections against Hoppe's theory can be overcome on the basis of the transcendental pragmatics and the conflict-freedom principle.
