		Libertarianism is the view that each person has the right to live his life in any way he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others.
		In the libertarian view, all human relationships should be voluntary; the only actions that should be forbidden by law are those that involve the initiation of force against those who have not themselves used force-actions like murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, and fraud.
		Libertarianism is a vision of how people should be able to live their lives-as individuals, striving to realize the best they have within them; together, cooperating for the common good without compulsion.

	Libertarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Libertarianism is a political philosophy advocating that individuals should be free to do whatever they wish with their person or property, as long as they do not infringe on the same liberty of others.
		Libertarians strongly oppose infringement of civil liberties such as restrictions on free expression (e.g., speech, press, or religious practice), prohibitions on voluntary association, or encroachments on persons or property except as a result of due process to establish or punish criminal behavior.
		Libertarian perspectives on animal rights: A small number of libertarians grant basic rights to animals (they count as individuals and therefore have the right not to be subjected to coercion), while others see animals as property, and think their owners are free to treat them as they wish.

		Libertarians also argue that the market can be used to organize all or most aspects of society and have developed rational choice theory accordingly, while classical liberals such as Adam Smith argued there were limitations to the market's utility as a means of social organization.
		Both minarchists and anarcho-capitalists differ in their beliefs from the anarcho-syndicalists, anarcho-socialists and libertarian socialists, who are usually considered not to be libertarians at all (the feeling is mutual; anarcho-socialists and libertarian socialists claim that capitalism is incompatible with freedom, and thus libertarian/anarcho-capitalists cannot be considered libertarians at all).
		An alternate justification for libertarian ideas (broadly speaking), predicated on the use of reason and the observance of a certain code of ethics (rather than social ends) is contained within the philosophy of Objectivism established by Ayn Rand.

		Libertarianism is a political philosophyTemplate:Ref that holds that all individuals should have the liberty to do as they wish with themselves and their property as long as those actions do not infringe on the same liberty of others.

		Libertarian perspectives on abortion: The abortion debate among libertarians centers around whether the fetus is a person (and thus has its own rights) or a part of the mother's body (in which case it is subject to her wishes).

		Libertarians do not believe in the use of coercion, although most of them believe that force can be used in self-defense.
		Most libertarians, at least in the United States, are considered to be of the right wing, because most of them believe in private property.
		Right-wing libertarians argue that property arises from the fruits of one's labors and one can not be free if not allowed to use these as one sees fit rather than have a community control them.

	Libertarianism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Although sufficientarian libertarianism may be an improvement over Nozickean libertarianism by being sensitive to the quality of life prospects left to others, it nevertheless fails, many would argue, to recognize the extent to which natural resources belong to all of us in some egalitarian manner.
		In reply, libertarians argue that (1) many of the effects of states are quite negative, (2) many of the positive effects can be obtained without the state through voluntary mechanisms, and (3) even if some positive effects cannot be so obtained, the ends do not justify the means in these cases.
		Libertarianism is attractive because (1) it provides significant moral liberty of action, (2) it provides and significant moral protection against interference from others and because it is sensitive to what the past was like (e.g., what agreements were made and what rights violations took place).

	Review of Libertarianism: A Primer
		Murray and Boaz share the political philosophy of libertarianism, which upholds individual liberty--both economic and personal--and advocates a government limited, with few exceptions, to protecting individual rights and restraining the use of force and fraud.
		Opponents of libertarianism (and they are numerous, drawn from the ranks of both right and left) will find error on every page of these books, while sympathizers will be grateful for the serious, intelligent restatements of the ideas they contain.
		Libertarian themes--such as the relationship between private property and authentic democracy, the unwise reliance on interventionist economic solutions and the importance of personal responsibility as a counterbalance to policies based on unconditional entitlements--are part of contemporary political discourse.

	The Moral Hardness of Libertarianism :: Ephilosopher :: Philosophy News, Research and Philosophical Discussion
		I argue that most libertarians hold three beliefs that jointly show them to be unsympathetic or hard-hearted to persons whom they hold morally responsible: that persons are morally responsible only because they make libertarian choices, that we should hold persons responsible, and that we lack epistemic justification for thinking persons make such choices.
		Softhearted persons who held these three beliefs would espouse hard determinism, which exonerates all persons of moral responsibility, or, at least, would not espouse libertarianism.
		I do not address the view held by some libertarians that we do have epistemic justification for thinking that persons make libertarian choices, a minority position that I believe cannot be sustained.

	Fictionwise eBooks: Anti-Libertarianism: Markets, Philosophy, and Myth by Alan Haworth
		Socialism, they say, has been thoroughly discredited: the more extreme wing of libertarian thinking would even say that anything other than the minimal 'nightwatchman' state is repressive and, in terms of ultimate freedom, evil.
		Moreover, libertarianism is exposed as profoundly antithetical to the very freedom which it purports to advance.
