Encyclopedia of Libertarianism
- Published by Sage Publications
Contemporary libertarian scholars are continuing that tradition by making substantial contributions to such fields as philosophy, jurisprudence, economics, evolutionary psychology, political theory, and history, in both academia and politics. With more than 300 A to Z signed entries written by top scholars, this work is purposed to be a useful compilation of and introduction to libertarian scholarship. The Encyclopedia starts with an introductory essay offering an extensive historical and thematic overview of key thinkers, events, and publications in the development of libertarian thought. Entries conclude with bibliographies and references for further reading and cross references to related entries. Each entry provides an introduction to a topic or policy question relevant to libertarianism or a biography of a person who has had an impact on libertarianism. Editors take special care to ensure entries clearly explain libertarian approaches to issues, do not take sides on disputed matters or engage in polemics, and represent the views of all sides fairly and accurately.
Review:
"All entries are prepared by experienced scholars and include suggestions for further reading. An excellent index makes it easy to discern the often mutual influence of different events, individuals and movements. This useful guide fills a long-standing gap in reference collections, and will serve students of philosophy, political science and intellectual history."
