IN "LIBERTY AND NATURE," RASMUSSEN AND DEN UYL USE AN ARISTOTELIAN CONCEPTION OF THE HUMAN GOOD TO PROVIDE A FOUNDATION FOR LIBERTARIANISM. THEIR PRINCIPAL ARGUMENT IS THAT INTELLIGENCE AND VIRTUE ARE NECESSARY INGREDIENTS IN EVERY FLOURISHING HUMAN LIFE, BUT SINCE THESE ARE NOT GOODS THAT THE STATE CAN DISTRIBUTE TO INDIVIDUALS, GOVERNMENTS CAN PLAY ONLY A MODEST ROLE IN PROMOTING THE COMMON GOOD. THE STATE BEST PROMOTES THE WELL-BEING OF ITS CITIZENS BY ALLOWING THEM TO PURSUE HAPPINESS IN A MANNER OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING, AND DEFENDING THEM AGAINST THOSE WHO WOULD INVADE THEIR MORAL BOUNDARIES.

LIBERTARIAN ARGUMENTS ABOUT THE EMPIRICAL BENEFITS OF CAPITALISM ARE, AS YET, INADEQUATE TO CONVINCE ANYONE WHO LACKS LIBERTARIAN PHILOSOPHICAL CONVICTION. YET "PHILOSOPHICAL" LIBERTARIANISM FOUNDERS ON INTERNAL CONTRADICTIONS THAT RENDER IT UNFIT TO MAKE LIBERTARIANS OUT OF ANYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE STRONG CONSEQUENTIALIST REASONS FOR LIBERTARIAN BELIEF. THE JOINT FAILURE OF THESE TWO APPROACHES TO LIBERTARIANISM EXPLAINS WHY THEY ARE BOTH PRESENT IN ORTHODOX LIBERTARIANISM--THEY HIDE EACH OTHER'S WEAKNESSES, THEREBY PERPETUATING THEM. LIBERTARIANISM RETAINS SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL FOR ILLUMINATING THE MODERN WORLD BECAUSE OF ITS DISTANCE FROM MAINSTREAM INTELLECTUAL ASSUMPTIONS. BUT THIS POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN UNFULFILLED UNTIL ITS IDEOLOGICAL SUPERSTRUCTURE IS DISMANTLED.
