Abstract

Borer launches a spirited attack on my own promulgation and defense of the non aggression principle as the lynchpin of libertarianism, as adumbrated in several of my published papers . The two of us, Borer and me, in my opinion, achieve real disagreement, a goal not always reached in the libertarian debates. That is, Borer is succinct, on point, and offers a real challenge to those of us in the Rothbardian tradition, who see the NAP as the very basis of the libertarian philosophy. The present paper is an attempt to refute each and every one of the challenges offered by Borer
