Libertarianism: A Refutation from Aristotle’s Viewpoint | Chapter 3 | Recent Research Advances in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

In this research article, the researcher argues that Libertarianism ideas are less likely to successfully develop any sustainable and peaceful societies because, for the first reason, according to famous philosophers such as Aristotle, the benefits of the individual could not be prior to the benefits of his or her own society. For another reason, the Libertarian’s idea about the minimal state’s role in its citizen’s life could not be justified from any cultural background. It follows that any societies that aim to live by the libertarian rules that support strong individual rights as superior to the society’s benefits, could end up as a cultural malfunction and inhumane society.
