Si vous parlez français, vous apprécierez aussi
ma page sur le Libéralisme, le vrai,
qui n'est pas une traduction de cette page-ci.
The vocation of this site is to help you discover Liberty,
a notion the name of which is oft spoken, but that is seldom understood.
For those who desire to learn,
the ISIL has published a nice
Introduction to the Philosophy of Liberty
by Ken Schoolland and Lux Lucre.
The Philosophy of Liberty, or
Libertarianism,
is a theory of Law
[1];
it is an
Ethics of Liberty and Responsibility;
it is a cybernetics of
Human Action;
it is the only authentically subversive ideology.
Until I make these pages better, here are a few sites that I recommend:
- Build Freedom,
because Liberty is a paradigm of harmonic creation,
not of destructive conflict.
- Frédéric Bastiat,
the classical liberal thinker by excellence.
- Christian Michel,
a great contemporary philosopher.
- Freedom fighters extraordinaire:
Wendy McElroy,
Mary Ruwart.
- Panarchy,
the only political regime that respects every individual.
- The Library of Economics and Liberty,
resource for classical liberal literature.
- Ludwig von Mises Institute,
scholarship of liberty.
- Free-Market.net,
a comprehensive libertarian point on news for all topics.
- Advocates for Self-Government,
a group that promotes libertarian ideas.
- Against Politics,
a nice site.
- Blogging for Liberty:
Lew Rockwell,
Strike The Root,
The Dissident Frogman,
Samizdata,
and my own
Cybernethics.

Here are a few drafts being written:
I wrote many articles for Wikipedia,
and although other people occasionally modify them
(often for the worse, IMNSHO),
the following articles still had the same overall structure and main ideas
that I put in them last time I checked
(click on the History of the article,
and check the latest version by Faré):
Libertarianism,
Anarcho-capitalism,
Anarchism...
I intend to transfer my versions of these articles to
Liberpedia.
There are also more pointers at
the end of my old french page on liberty.
Here are a few texts that I republish, written by other people:
- By Ayn Rand:
Philosophy: Who Needs It?, 1974.
This text will help you answer the questions
``Where am I? How can I discover it? What should I do?´´
that constitute metaphysics, epistemology and ethics.
Also by Ayn Rand,
To All Innocent Fifth Columnists,
1941,
and
The Only Path To Tomorrow,
1944.
- By Karl Hess:
The Death of Politics,
1969.
About Karl Hess, read
From Far Right To Far Left — And Farther — With Karl Hess,
by James Boyd, 1970.
- By lesser authors:
The New Right Credo — Libertarianism,
by Stan Lehr and Louis Rossetto Jr., 1971.
