Principe de non-agression

The 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. The non-aggression principle is considered by some to be an essential idea in libertarianism, voluntaryism, anarcho-capitalism or minarchism. The principle has been derived by various philosophical approaches, including: Consequentialism: some advocates base the non-aggression principle on rule utilitarianism or rule egoism. These approaches hold that though violations of the non-aggression principle cannot be claimed to be objectively immoral, adherence to it almost always leads to the best possible results, and so it should be accepted as a moral rule. These scholars include David D. Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, and Friedrich Hayek. Objectivism: Ayn Rand rejected natural or inborn rights theories as well as supernatural claims and instead proposed a philosophy based on "observable reality" along with a corresponding ethics based on the "factual requirements" of human life in a social context. She stressed that the political principle of non-aggression is not a primary and that it only has validity as a consequence of a more fundamental philosophy. For this reason, many of her conclusions differ from others who hold the NAP as an axiom or arrived at it differently. She proposed that man survives by identifying and using concepts in his rational mind since "no sensations, percepts, urges or instincts can do it; only a mind can". She wrote, "since reason is man's basic means of survival, that which is proper to the life of a rational being is the good; that which negates, opposes or destroys it [i.

Objectivist movement

The Objectivist movement is a movement of individuals who seek to study and advance Objectivism, the philosophy expounded by novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand. The movement began informally in the 1950s and consisted of students who were brought together by their mutual interest in Rand's novel, The Fountainhead. The group, ironically named "the Collective" due to their actual advocacy of individualism, in part consisted of Leonard Peikoff, Nathaniel Branden, Barbara Branden, Alan Greenspan, and Allan Blumenthal.

Libertarianisme de droite

Le 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.

Minarchisme

vignette|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.
