Summary/Abstract: The present paper deals with the problem of voluntary slavery lawfulness within the libertarian theoretical framework. It hypothesises that libertarian theory of natural rights assumes the possibility of licit slavery contracts and that it stems logically from the alienability and compossibility of natural rights. Moreover, the paper discusses arguments against voluntary slavery presented in the literature. The method of logical analysis has been employed to examine validity of the hypotheses.
