Metafizică și drepturi ale omului (II) – libertarianismul și John Locke
Metaphysics and human rights. Libertarianism and John Locke

Summary/Abstract: In this text, I continue the argument that some of our most important attachments have metaphysical assumptions. I focus on the metaphysical assumptions of human rights. I argue that by rejecting these assumptions and emphasizing the role of property rights, libertarians miss the objective of their efforts – building an order of freedom. I contend that by making such assumptions and interpreting self-ownership as individual sovereignty, Locke bases an order of liberty.
