If objective morality doesnt exist, what justifies libertarianism?

@Angurse

Your absolutely right. But I’m not defending libertarianism on the “cause it feels right” appeal. I’m not trying to appeal to peoples emotions to persuade them, nor am I telling them they are acting immoral because of some objective ethic or natural law - I cannot see much difference between that and just saying “because God says so.” I reakky don’t find justification along moral or ethical lines. Rather, I’ve argued for its basis through logic and epistemology. I find this to be a far more rational approach. (A politician would never try such a thing!)

Well throughout the history of natural law, natural law has always meant intellectual law. It is logic and epistemology, metaphysics, etc… It wasn’t until Spinoza and Hobbes came along and changed the definition of natural to mean where the beasts roam and that the state is legitimate cause it is bringing civilization out of the beastly inclinations of nature. They completely perverted what natural meant in natural law for their own manipulative ends. History is a war of definitions over the labels, at times, and sometimes it can be tracked down on who started spreading the lies, in this case, Hobbes and Spinoza.
