Libertarianism: For and Against offers dueling perspectives on the
scope of legitimate government. Tibor R. Machan, a well-known
political philosopher with libertarian convictions, argues for a
minimal government devoted solely to protecting individual rights
to life, liberty, and property. Stressing the sovereignty of each
individual, Machan argues in favor of limiting democracy's scope
and against the redistribution of wealth, or any other sort of
taxation. In opposition to libertarianism, philosopher Craig Duncan
defends democratic liberalism, which aims to ensure that all
citizens have fair access to a life of dignity. This requires
measures to protect equality of opportunity, as well as measures to
ensure all have access to a decent minimum standard of living. In a
dynamic exchange of arguments, critiques, and rebuttals, the two
philosophers cut to the heart of this important debate,
articulating and defending competing conceptions of such core
values as political freedom and equality.
