 Book Review: The Virtue of Liberty by Tibor R. Machan | The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on ...
Machan has long recognized that, while a good many intellectuals champion liberty as a political value, they do not always do so for the same reasons, or with the same understanding of the source, Scope, and limits of liberty.
Machan argues that this is a serious misconception in that morality is, at heart, a matter of volition and choice.
This version, Machan argues, is open to the charge that individualism lacks a moral base, and the shortcomings of this view tend to weaken liberalism by exposing it to precisely the objections that are in such wide currency.

 Tibor R. Machan - Philosophy of the Social Sciences
Indeed," states Machan, "Hayek does not appear ever to align himself to any kind of dialectical thinking, so Sciabarra has his work cut out for him.
Machan criticizes Sciabarra's "persistently metatheoretical approach" because it "avoids talking of a position that is supposedly right over some other that may be wrong." He thinks Sciabarra needs to present a clearer exposition of dialectics.
Machan stresses, however, that "Sciabarra has given us a book that certainly manages to raise numerous fascinating questions and to offer up some provocative suggestions.

 Tibor Machan's 'Classical Individualism' by Russell Madden
Machan points out the false view many have of objectivity, namely that it applies only to what is known eternally and unchangeably as true.
Machan also takes those economists to task who view "rational behavior" as any action that is "deliberate" (planned) without regard to any moral evaluation.
Machan's final chapter considers "the moral vision of Ayn Rand" and her emphasis on reason, individualism, and capitalism.

Machan writes in the preface that his book is intended as an introduction to Rand's ideas for readers who may have heard of her but not examined her philosophy in detail.
Machan makes interesting comments on the distinction between derivation and deduction and he identifies a few contemporary philosophers whose views are very similar to Objectivism.
Machan was never a member of Rand's inner circle, he can write freely on her philosophy and discuss its strengths as well as weaknesses.

 TWV: A review of Individuals And Their Rights
Machan likes to make a big deal out of the importance of a distinctively ethical — as opposed to economic — defense of the free market, his own understanding of economics as a body of theory is shockingly faulty.
Machan seems to distinguish natural rights from legal rights entirely on the criterion of fundamentality, though other parts of his argument reflect an understanding of the logical (ontological**?) difference usually imputed to the distinction.
On (3) Machan blows it, as we have seen, by acting as though a universal right was a natural right by definition, where the truth of the matter is that whether a right is natural or not properly pertains to point (4), as to the reasons why a (given) right should be granted or not.

MACHAN: OK, you're driving to the point where you begin to see that this is the politician's substituting their judgment for our judgment.

 Book Review: Individuals And Their Rights by Tibor R. Machan | The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, ...
Moreover, this insight relies on Machan’s general discussion of man’s nature that spells out in what ways man is a social creature, in what ways he is a purely private and individual creature, and how to properly specify both realms so as to protect all individuals and their rights.
Machan defends his thesis ably against several contending theories, and is generally effective in doing so.
I don’t believe that Machan is a crypto-skeptic, so perhaps instead he is struggling to be diplomatic with his philosophical adversaries.

Actually, the claim made by classical liberals and, especially, libertarians is that the right to liberty is something everyone has by his or her nature as a human being.
Tibor Machan responds to Publishers Weekly's attack on his new book.
Yet, oddly, at the end of the day it comes closer to it than all the alternatives-­no near-socialist system has ever managed to distribute power and wealth without some folks at the top getting the bulk of it and few ever having the chance to take their place.

 Amazon.ca: Generosity : Virtue in the Civil Society: Books: Tibor R. Machan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Machan argues that generosity is an important virtue for citizens of a free society and tht it can be cultivated only through freedom.
In this lean and meaty volume, libertarian philosopher Tibor Machan both makes a case for generosity as a civic virtue and denies that it can be enjoined by law.
But Machan's virtue ethic makes up for a good deal of what Kelley lacks; between the two of them, they've made a tremendous start on a very demanding project.

 Cato Books: Generosity by Tibor Machan
Many contemporary political theorists argue that classical liberals are necessarily opposed to generosity because they oppose the welfare state--which, in the eyes of those theorists, is the source of generosity (and many other virtues) in modern society.
In the new Cato book Generosity: Virtue in the Civil Society, Tibor R. Machan, author of Human Rights and Human Liberties, Individuals and Their Rights, and other books, argues just the opposite.
Machan maintains that in a society that recognizes positive rights and makes generosity obligatory, generosity can no longer be considered a virtue.

 AFF's Brainwash :: The heresy of animal rights
Machan's thesis is that humans do have rights, which derive from our peculiar capacities for reason and moral judgment, but since animals lack those faculties, they have no rights.
Machan's predecessors have long dismissed claims on behalf of animals by asserting that mankind's special place in nature and our elevated mental capacity affords us a monopoly on rights.
Machan is still on relatively solid ground here, allowing for a moral analysis but no laws, since he holds that animals have no rights.

Machan and his contributors offer highly unusual insights that expose our "one size fits all" approach to education as misguided and ultimately damaging to learning—and propose a bold entrepreneurial solution, which would require full separation of school and state.
In Neither Left nor Right, a collection of his columns, Machan, a relentless advocate of the political philosophy of libertarianism, offers his always well-reasoned, often controversial opinions on the variety of threats to individual liberty in the United States and around the world.
