| Aristotelian liberalism is a burgeoning tradition in political philosophy, an Aristotelian form of classical liberalism or libertarianism. It holds that man's natural end is a life of eudaimonia (flourishing); that virtue is constitutive of one's own flourishing but must be freely chosen to count as such; that man is a profoundly social being, but nevertheless that individuals are ends-in-themselves and not means to the ends of others; that the right to liberty is a metanormative ethical principle necessary for protecting the possibility of all forms of human flourishing and an interpersonal ethical principle such that rights-respecting behavior is constitutive of one's own eudaimonia. Hence, AL embraces free markets and free enterprise but not statist capitalism; it is severely critical of the state. | ||
