Liberal Libertarians: Why Libertarianism is a Liberal View

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
Our contribution in this chapter is to address the argument made by philosopher Samuel Freeman (2001) that libertarianism is not a liberal view. Freeman’s argument is based on the claim that full alienability of property rights is antithetical to liberal political institutions. We address Freeman’s argument by arguing twofold.

Robert Nozick, Libertarian?

South African Journal of Philosophy, 2011
We set out a variety of material from Nozick’s work after -Anarchy, State, and Utopia- that tends to show that, despite his protestations of fidelity to libertarianism in-Invariances- and interviews before his death, his thought took directions inconsistent with the version of libertarianism in that book, in which only negative rights (or the ‘ethic of

The Libertarian Vote

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2006
Conventional wisdom holds that the United States is a country nearly evenly divided between two political ideologies: liberal vs. conservative, red state vs. blue state. Our study of voter and public polling data suggests this view is incorrect; a significant portion of voters can be classified as neither liberal nor conservative.

Libertarianism and Pollution

Philosophy and Public Policy Quarterly, 2015
Libertarians are strong defenders of the rights of person and property against trespass or invasion.  Taken to its logical conclusion, the libertarian position would insist on the elimination of pollution since it involves the invasion of one person -- through effluents or emissions -- on another.

Libertarian natural rights

Critical Review, 2004
Abstract Non‐consequetitialist libertarianism usually revolves around the claim that there are only “negative,” not “positive,” rights. Libertarian negative‐rights theories are so patently problematic, though, that it seems that there is a more fundamental notion at work. Some libertarians think this basic idea is freedom or liberty; others, that it is

A Minimal Libertarianism

2018
In this book Franklin develops and defends a version of event-causal libertarianism about free will and moral responsibility. This view is a combination of libertarianism—the view that humans sometimes act freely and that those actions are the upshots of nondeterministic causal processes—and agency reductionism—the view that the causal role of agents ...

A Libertarian Utopia

2019
Libertarians tend to distrust politics and to trust the unregulated operations of the free market, even in areas traditionally regarded as off-limits to market thinking. The American political theorist Terence Ball invites us to imagine a libertarian utopia or “marketopia” in which every good and service is for sale on the open market.

Socialism and libertarianism

Journal of Political Ideologies, 2005
In this article, I attempt to define the concepts of socialism and libertarianism. While recognising that the meaning of socialism has developed over time and is not set in stone, and after outlining the ways in which a number of writers have defined socialism, I argue that key socialist values are incompatible with libertarianism, the core feature of ...
