* * * Libertarianism: Left or Right? · 8 April, 12:14 AM
Panel Discussion Thursday, April 15, 6:30pm Gibson Room, Cocke Hall That liberals and libertarians share philosophical origins is clearly implied by the common Latin root for both words, liberalis, meaning open or generous. But over the past 30 years in America, libertarian ideas have generally been associated with conservatives and the right. Is there room for libertarianism on the left? Is it possible to be a “liberaltarian” – half liberal, half libertarian? Join us for a wide ranging panel discussion about the philosophical and political common grounds that may serve to unite liberals and libertarians. Given shared positions with respect to civil liberties, state involvement in private affairs, fiscal responsibility, and foreign military involvement, is there room for compromise on contested regulatory and fiscal issues? Or are liberals and libertarians destined to be occasional tactical allies with fundamentally conflicting strategic visions? And regardless of possibilities for closer political cooperation, what libertarian insights do liberals need to do a better job of appreciating, and vice versa? This event is free and open to the public and will include a roundtable discussion along with audience Q&A. Participants include: Will Wilkinson, Cato Institute Gerard Alexander, Associate Professor, UVA Department of Politics Sahar Akhtar, Assistant Professor, UVA Department of Philosophy Jennifer Burns, Assistant Professor, UVA Department of History Steven Teles, Associate Professor, Johns Hopkins University Department of Political Science Colin Bird, Associate Professor, UVA Department of Politics
