Jan Narveson is Professor of Philosophy at Waterloo University.
“This book is an important examination of both contractarianism and libertarianism. And beyond its intriguing central theses and its pointed applications of libertarian premises to policy issues, it provides an extensive and valuable critical commentary on recent philosophical attacks on libertarian themes.” ― Ethics
“The Libertarian Idea is the eminently readable book of a man who knows what liberty is, knows what it isn’t, and cares deeply about the difference.” ― Reason
“This book is indeed a major contribution to the philosophical controversy over libertarianism. It ranks in importance with Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia and Rawls’s A Theory of Justice.” ― Liberty
“An original and well-rounded contribution [that] ... should be of considerable general interest among political philosophers ... [I]t is a thoroughly challenging and quite engaging book.” ― Canadian Journal of Philosophy
“Producers and consumers of theory of justice literature should read this book. It is a major work.” ― Journal of Politics
“[In] Narveson’s new, bold, and highly readable book ... he aims, quite simply, to provide the secure foundations that libertarianism apparently lacks.” ― Canadian Philosophical Review
