This work defends a libertarian conception of a free society, one in which negative rights (rights not to be interfered with in peaceful pursuits) are identified and protected. It argues that such a society is the best ideal for humans and that this ideal is deserving of everyone's support.
In The Passion for Liberty, Tibor R. Machan defends a libertarian conception of a free society, one in which individuals are sovereign, self-governing beings, not subject to others'' will without their consent. In the tradition of John Locke, Adam Smith, Ayn Rand, and Robert Nozick, Machan argues that such a society—far from being hedonistic, licentious, or disorderly—is the best possible ideal for humans. In doing so, he addresses specific issues such as affirmative action, abortion, military intervention, and torture in light of the relationship between liberty and democracy. As freedom takes on a new urgency, The Passion for Liberty reminds us of the importance of individual liberty and why it needs to be defended.
