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.
Notes
[1]:
A theory of Law tries to establish
what ought to be considered legitimate
and what ought to be considered illegitimate.
The ultimate question of Law is the recourse to violence.
Libertarianism considers as illegitimate
the initiation of violence against other individuals.
