Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present the core ideas of libertarianism. Its main representatives include Jay A. Nock, Ayn Rand, Robert Nozick, Murray N. Roth¬bard and Hans H. Hoppe. Libertarianism, with its many doctrines, currents and movements, means a cultural current, a philosophical theory or an ideology. It seems that libertarianism should be regarded primarily as a variant of liberalism, especially classical liberalism as a certain doctrine of socio-political life (which, however, has cer¬tain metaphysical-anthropological presumptions), and an attempt to develop it con¬sistently. Despite the different varieties of libertarianism, some are radical and others moderate, it can be characterised by a few core ideas, which include the idea of the free individual, private property and the free market, justice, human rights, criticism of the state and support for civil society.
