 | Anti-Libertarian Point Refuted Posted by William Dwyer on 4/27, 10:46am | |
| "The English Marxist political philosopher Ted Honderich asks us to imagine a perfectly just society, constituted according to libertarian principles. Then he asks, rhetorically, whether it is possible that there exist starving people in such a society? (Sure, that might be so but that's true of any society and much less likely in a free one.) So Honderich then continues: '[I]n this perfectly just society they have no claim to food, no moral right to it. No one and nothing does wrong in letting them starve to death. There is no obligation in this society, on the state or anything else, to save them from starving to death. It is not true of anyone that he or she ought to have helped them. This is vicious.'"(p.44) | ||
