May 6, Imprint: The key concepts defining Libertarianism are: Individual Rights as inherent to human beings, not granted by government; a Spontaneous Order through which people conduct their daily interactions and through which society is organized independent of central government direction; the Rule of Law which dictates that everyone is free to do as they please so long as they do not infringe upon the rights of others; a Divided and Limited Government, checked by written constitution; Free Markets in which price and exchange is agreed upon mutually by individuals; Virtue of Production whereby the productive labour of the individual and any translation of that labour into earnings belongs, by right, to the individual who should not have to sacrifice those earnings to taxes; and Peace which has, throughout history, most commonly been disrupted by the interests of the ruling class or centralized government.

This is ethical theory by Jan Narveson Book 7 editions published between and in English and held by WorldCat member libraries worldwide "Professor Narveson distinguishes between a more general subject that may be called ethics and moral theory in particular, the main topic of this book.

He gives a clear and precise account of the many explanations of right and wrong recommended by philosophers, covering such points of view as utilitarianism, natural law, egoism, moral relativism, virtue ethics, and religious derivations of ethics, and also explains the metaethical theories such as intuitionism, emotivism, and prescriptivism.

But what is this theory, on which so much ink is spilled?
