Categories:

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century philosopher and political activist John Hospers' essay "What Libertarianism Is" It focuses specifically on his discussion of the three rights he takes as fundamental, i.e. the right to maintain one's life, the right to maintain one's liberty or freedom, and the right to one's own property. These supersede and structure all other moral considerations for the libertarian.
