Outline of libertarianismThe following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to libertarianism, a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. As a result, libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association and the primacy of individual judgment.
Libertarianism in the United StatesIn the United States, libertarianism is a political philosophy promoting individual liberty. According to common meanings of conservatism and liberalism in the United States, libertarianism has been described as conservative on economic issues (economic liberalism) and liberal on personal freedom (civil libertarianism), often associated with a foreign policy of non-interventionism.
Consequentialist libertarianismConsequentialist libertarianism, also known as consequentialist liberalism or libertarian consequentialism, is a libertarian political philosophy and position that is supportive of a free market and strong private property rights only on the grounds that they bring about favorable consequences such as prosperity or efficiency. What consequentialist libertarians advocate is derived through cost–benefit calculation, taking a broad account of consequences.
Libertarianisme de droiteLe libertarianisme de droite (en anglais, right-libertarianism, libertarian capitalism ou right-wing libertarianism) est une philosophie politique et un type de libertarianisme qui soutient fortement les droits de propriété capitalistes et défend la répartition par le marché des ressources naturelles et de la propriété privée. Comme la plupart des formes de libertarianisme, il tend à soutenir les libertés publiques, mais aussi le droit naturel, les droits négatifs et un renversement majeur de l'État-providence moderne.
Debates within libertarianismLibertarianism is variously defined by sources as there is no general consensus among scholars on the definition nor on how one should use the term as a historical category. Scholars generally agree that libertarianism refers to the group of political philosophies which emphasize freedom, individual liberty and voluntary association. Libertarians generally advocate a society with little or no government power.
GéolibertarianismeLe Géolibertarianisme est une idéologie politique et qui associe libertarianisme et georgisme (ou geoism ou geonomics en anglais). Il est le plus souvent associé à la gauche libertaire ou au centre radical. Les géolibertariens considèrent que l'espace géographique et les ressources naturelles à l'état brut — tous les actifs qui rentrent dans la définition de terre au sens économique du terme – sont des biens rivaux qui doivent être envisagés comme des ou, plus exactement, des communs, que tous les individus partagent un égal accès comme un droit de l'homme, que toute la richesse du capital ne soit pas privatisée entièrement et absolument.
Principe de non-agressionThe non-aggression principle (NAP), also called the non-aggression axiom, is a concept in which aggression, defined as initiating or threatening any forceful interference (violating or breaching conduct) against an individual, their property, or promises (contracts) for which the aggressor is liable and in which the individual is a counterparty, is inherently wrong. There is no single or universal interpretation or definition of the NAP, with different definitions varying in regards to how to treat intellectual property, force, abortion, and other topics.
Minarchismevignette|Étendard du minarchisme. Le minarchisme est une idéologie politique dérivée du libertarianisme qui préconise un « État minimal », dont la légitimité est enserrée par des limites strictes. Le terme est un néologisme tiré de l'anglais minarchism, datant vraisemblablement des années 1970. Les inspirateurs de ce mouvement de pensée récent semblent être principalement originaires d'Amérique du Nord (Canada ou États-Unis). Les minarchistes se méfient fortement de l'État et de l'extension de ses prérogatives.
Anarcho-capitalismethumb|Drapeau de l'anarcho-capitalisme. thumb|190px|Symbole de l'Action anarcho-capitaliste et anti-communiste. L’anarcho-capitalisme est un courant de pensée politique qui remet en cause l’existence de l’État. Il se distingue notamment des autres courants de l'anarchisme en faisant de la propriété privée la valeur cardinale de son système. L’anarcho-capitalisme est inspiré du libéralisme philosophique, selon lequel l’existence de l’État est illégitime et inutile.
Self-ownershipSelf-ownership, is the concept of property in one's own body, expressed as the moral or natural right of a person to have bodily integrity which means to be the exclusive controller of one's own body including one's life, where 'control' means exerting any physical interference and 'exclusive' means having the right to install and enforce a ban on other people doing this. Since the legal norm of property title claim incapacitates (or bans) other people (except the zygote) from claiming property title over the same resource at the same time, the right to control or interfere with one's own body in any arbitrary way is secured.
