LIBERTARIANISM DE STÂNGA ŞI HOBBESIANISM DE STÂNGA
Left Libertarianism And Left Hobbesianism

Summary/Abstract: This article undertakes a comparative analysis of two key variables libertarians and Hobbesians can use to develop left‐wing versions of their respective theories. It turns out that Hobbesianism, while it does have limited means to extend the scope of its concept of cooperative surplus, has a hard time justifying the equal division of this surplus as a general rule. Libertarianism, in contrast, can avail itself not only of strategies to broaden the concept of external resources, but also of an equal division rule. We go on to explore how these differences impact the redistributive capacities of left‐Hobbesianism and left‐libertarianism, and how these left‐wing variants, especially left‐libertarianism, tally with theories of equal opportunity and sufficientarianism.
