	Bio - Libertarianism Wikipedia RSS Feed libertarian
		An economic libertarian is one who advocates free markets regardless of his stance on civil liberties, and a civil libertarian is one who seeks to advance civil liberties, regardless of his or her stance on economic issues.
		Libertarians define "coercion" as the use of physical force, the threat of such, or deception (fraud), that alters, or is intended to alter, the way individuals would use their body or property.
		Libertarians were understood in Iberian usage to mean such freemen, as was the term "Liberal," especially those living in self-governing or anarchist communes; and groups in the 1600's in Western Europe such as the Levellers used the term.

	--[ Libertarian International. Network of liberty-minded individuals and organizations in Europe. ]--
		Libertarians sanction only laws that aim to keep everyone's sovereignty by protecting every individual's right to life, liberty, property and so forth.
		The libertarian says that with the authority to run your life goes the risk that you may mismanage your life.
		The reason why the libertarian thinks this is right is that human beings do remain fundamentally the same throughout all those technological and related changes.

	libertarianism: Any of you fine folks willing to help a curious student? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Libertarianism generally finds itself at odds with nearly every other political philosophy (in theory or practice) because they all ultimately resort to forcing people in one manner or another to conform to doing things a particular way, without regard for the desires of the individual.
		Libertarians ground their philosophy in any one of a number of diverse beliefs, from a wide variety of different philosophies and ethical systems.
		Libertarians would also argue that, as long as you're not harming anyone else, a person should have the freedom to partake in an activity that could be harmful to themself.

	Libertarianism (metaphysics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All libertarians subscribe to the philosophy of incompatibilism which states that an action cannot be both free and physically predetermined in the commonly understood sense.
		Libertarianism is the opposite of Determinism which states all human actions are predetermined, and soft-determinism or 'Compatibilism' which argues determinism is compatible with free will.
		All human beings, claims the libertarian, have experience of being a self-determining being, we are all aware of the free choices we have made.

	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).

	Libertarianism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This is usually taken by libertarians to mean that no one may initiate coercion, which they define as the use of physical force, the threat of such, or the use of fraud to prevent individuals from having wilful use of their person or property.
		Many libertarians hold that certain personal liberties (such as privacy and freedom of speech) and economic liberties (such as a right to own property, and freedom to trade, profit, labor, or invest) are both justifiable on the same philosophical or ethical foundations.
		Main articles: libertarian views of rights and Libertarian theories of law Libertarians believe that initiation of physical force, the threat of such, or fraud to compel behavior or acquire property of individuals should be regarded as a violation of their individual rights.

	The Breadth and Scope of Libertarianism and the Role of Student Activism by Daniel J. D’Amico
		Libertarianism is a political philosophy; it must compete in the field of discourse amongst the other political ideologies.
		Libertarianism is a normative discipline as opposed to a positive discipline.
		Libertarianism is unified in holding that such behaviors are not appropriately criminalized by the state and should be left to the free decisions of consenting adults.

	What is Objectivism?
		Libertarianism, being intentionally amoral (so as not to exclude advocates of any given moral philosophy), lacks a philosophical commitment to personal property rights (even though many libertarians have a philosophical commitment to personal property rights).
		Accordingly, those libertarians who have a philosophy that opposes personal property rights could consider all food and water to be common property, such that Frank was committing an act of coercion simply by denying food to Bob after Bob refused to mow Frank's lawn.
		However, many anarchist libertarians who are in favour of personal property rights and a free market (typically called "anarcho-capitalists") are are uncomfortable with capitalism for a different reason: they believe (as Ayn Rand did) that capitalism refers to a system in which property rights are properly enforced by a government.

	In Defense of Freedom
		The distinguishing characteristic of libertarianism is that it applies to the state the same ethical rules that apply to everyone else.
		Libertarianism thus responds to the reality of difference, including profound cultural and religious difference, much better than other political philosophies, which are left trying to smash square pegs into round holes.
		Libertarianism does not propose an end to evil or even to coercion, but only the flourishing of civilization in the absence of institutionalized coercion.

	Classical Liberalism, Libertarianism, and Individualism
		This is a metaphysical question, a problem we resolve in that branch of metaphysics which we call philosophy of man, philosophical anthropology, or sometimes philosophical psychology or philosophy of animate nature.
		Let me speak briefly, however, about Libertarianism in general, that is, what appears to be the basics of Libertarianism, disregarding the various schools or forms of Libertarianism that may exist.
		A division eventually developed between those Libertarians who wanted to get rid of the state or government altogether and those who were uneasy about the state, but thought that it should be severely limited.

	Libertarianism: Encyclopedia II - Libertarianism - Criticism of libertarianism
		(Note: Libertarians do not advocate "absolute freedom," but insist that the freedom of action of each individual should be limited at the point where it would infringe on the freedom of others; also, it is very unusual for libertarians to advocate that children have the same liberty as adults).
		These critics contend that the support of WTO efforts by libertarians demonstrates that libertarians are satisfied with the global status quo and would like to "lock-in" the hegemonic advantages.
		Likewise, they say that libertarians view the very wealthy as having earned their place, while the classical liberals were often skeptical of the rich, businesses, and corporations, which they saw as aristocratic.

		Libertarian socialism is an egalitarian and anti-authoritarian movement that emphasizes collective or cooperative property, anti-capitalism, individual rights and personal freedom.
		Since both of the above versions of libertarianism have in common the fact that they support personal freedom, the term civil libertarian is often used for any person who advocates personal freedom, regardless of what other political views he or she may hold.
		The problem with libertarianism is not that it is a wrongheaded ideology; the problem is that it is an ideology.

	Robert Nozick [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Many libertarians appeal, in defending their position, to economic and sociological considerations - the benefits of market competition, the inherent mechanisms inclining state bureaucracies toward incompetence and inefficiency, the poor record of governmental attempts to deal with specific problems like poverty and pollution, and so forth.
		Nozick endorses such arguments, but his main defense of libertarianism is a moral one, his view being that whatever its practical benefits, the strongest reason to advocate a libertarian society is simply that such advocacy follows from a serious respect for individual rights.
		It is often thought that libertarianism entails that everyone must live according to a laissez faire capitalist ethos, but this is not so; it requires only that, whatever ethos one is committed to, one not impose it by force on anyone else without his consent.

		Neoliberals attempt to fuse the ideal of a minimalist government with the reality of a highly complex, often monopolistic economy, in which the gap between the rich and poor continues to grow with impunity.
		I begin by using some libertarian "superstars" to immediately dispell the myth that classical liberalism as conceived of by the founding fathers of the United States necessarily entailed a limited government as an absolute.

		Those libertarians, at any rate, cannot suppose that the right to liberty is inherent in all beings that are capable of having liberty ascribed to them.

		In metaphysics, libertarianism is the view that human beings (and other free beings) are free because they can do otherwise.
		Libertarianism is generally taken to entail incompatibilism, and is contrasted with compatibilist theories of free will.
		Alciphron, however, lays down some quite stringent conditions: First then, let me tell you I am not persuaded by metaphysical arguments; such, for instance, as are drawn from the ideas of an all-perfect being, or the absurdity of an infinite progression of causes.

	Explorations in Politics
		Anarchism, in this sense, differs from the position of classical liberalism or libertarianism in politics (which upholds not a lack of government but limited government), but in its moral sense (the abolition of force and domination from human relations) it is consonant with a rational ethics.
		Liberalism (Principle and Tradition in politics) - Liberalism, at least in the classical sense of the word, is a doctrine or principle in political philosophy that is very similar to modern libertarianism - namely, that what matters in political affairs is the absolute freedom and rights of the individual.
		Libertarianism in political philosophy (sometimes also called classical liberalism) espouses the right of individuals to act in whatever way they please, so long as they do not initiate force or fraud against other people; sometimes libertarianism verges on anarchism.

		Introduction In this paper, we’ll diagnose and disarm the so-called Mind argument—typically thought to constitute the strongest objection to libertarianism, the view that we have free will and that freedom is incompatible with causal determinism.
		If what Finch and Warfield claim here is correct, then the discovery of Beta 2 is a boon to those who wish to argue for the incompatibility of freedom and determinism, but of no utility whatsoever to those who wish to argue for the incompatibility of freedom and indeterminism.
		For, as the case is described, it is Ridley’s refraining from standing that directly prevents the initiation of a causal sequence of events that would have prevented the shattering from occurring.

		Well, I don't expect him to talk about Kane, of course, but what I mean is that he doesn't exactly give libertarianism a fair hearing, since his criticism of it is more a criticism of agent-causation.
		For those who want to include more detailed discussions of libertarianism and Frankfurt-examples, the (small) Blackwell Kane anthology is good to add, as well.
		Well, except for libertarian views that are compatible with the completeness of physics (which I take it is distinct from determinism).
