Abstract

The article challenges the traditional understanding of possession in property law, arguing that the concept is increasingly inadequate due to its reliance on physical metaphors that fail to account for intangible assets and noncustodial interests. It advocates for a shift toward an abstract, Hegelian approach, emphasizing legal recognition and control over physical custody, particularly in the context of modern commercial transactions governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
