Political philosophy is the study of the ethical relationships between individuals, society, and the state. It tries to determine the proper standards by which we can judge institutions as good or bad, just or unjust. What kind of government, if any, ought we have, and what should it be permitted and forbidden to do? Do we have any moral obligation to obey our government’s laws and commands? What rights do people have, and why? What’s more important: liberty or equality? And what exactly is liberty, anyway? Political philosophy is the branch of philosophy that attempts to answer these questions in a rigorous way. In this Libertarianism.org Guide, professor Jason Brennan outlines how philosophers tackle these issues, especially philosophers working from a libertarian point of view.
