Ayn Rand's Theory of Rights: The Moral Foundation of a Free Society
Posted by William Dwyer on 10/01, 2:18pm
This article, from The Objective Standard, presents the justification for Rand's theory of rights. The author is Craig Biddle:

"What are rights? Where do they come from? One’s answers to these questions determine whether one is capable of defending a free society. If one does not know the nature and source of rights, one cannot know whether rights are real or imagined. And if rights are not real, there is no foundation for freedom; governments and societies may do as they please."
