Description

Explore a deep philosophical examination of libertarianism in Liberty, Games and Contracts. This work by Routledge focuses on the significant contributions of Jan Narveson, a leading contemporary defender of the libertarian political position. While many thinkers rely on natural rights or utilitarianism, Narveson provides a unique perspective through a Hobbesian individualist contractarian ethic. This text examines the core foundations of Narveson's theories and addresses the major critiques directed at his work. It categorizes these critiques into three distinct areas: those rejecting contractarian moral theory, those questioning the link between contractarianism and libertarianism, and other essential philosophical challenges. This book is a vital resource for students and scholars interested in political science, philosophy, and the mechanics of social contracts.
