• Description:
  The following paper seeks for a reconstruction of the libertarian concept of moral subject. According to author, libertarianism – defined in a narrow meaning as an absolutism of private property rights linked with natural law theory, austrian school of economics teachings and anarcho-individualist tradition – comprises two main anthropological aspects. First of them, which stems from the methodological individualism and subjectivism of austrian school, has already been clearly described in the scientific literature. However, as author points out, there is also another ingredient of the libertarian views on human nature, that has not been grasped neither by interpreters, nor by libertarians themselves. Namely, in order to provide tenability for their moral claims, a communitarian aspect of a self needs to be endorsed by libertarian thinkers. In author’s judgement such a conlusion follows from the dispute between Rawls, Nozick, MacIntyre, Taylor, Sandel, Walzer and other protagonists of the liberalcommunitarian debate. In particular, a question of so called „natural assets” provides interesting clue about communitarian presumptions of the libertarian anthropology. A widespread opinion regarding libertarianism and communitarianism polar opposites on every fieldof philosophical inquiry should thereforebe overcome. In addition to that, author briefly summarises numerous divergences that make libertarian and communitarian perspectives contradictory to each other. Undouptedly, their approaches towards ethics and – subsequently – politics cannot be reconcealed whatsoever. Libertarianism remains morally individualist and politically anarchist, while communitarians are collectivists and basically statists. Nonetheless, these differences do not embrace the concept of self. At this angle proponents of those influential streams of the contemporary political thought turn out way more akin that one may suppose at glance.
