“Libertarian political philosophy in the analytic tradition nears the half-century mark. Libertarian theorists have produced sophisticated defenses of limited government and individual liberty, but these defenses diverge in fundamental ways. The divergences reflect incompatible views about the nature and source of justice itself. This philosophical diversity may point toward a more complete understanding of libertarian justice. Two recent works capture these divergent strands. Billy Christmas’s Property and Justice advances a natural rights libertarianism that derives a complete theory of justice from the single principle of non-interference. Nick Cowen’s Neoliberal Social Justice builds a contractualist case for classical liberal institutions that takes seriously the epistemic limitations plaguing any attempt at social organization.” (01/22/26)
