It argues that this more moderate and defensible version of the NAP still has important libertarian implications, but that a full defense of libertarianism cannot rely upon appeals to nonaggression alone. The essay concludes by setting forth a version of the NAP that does not suffer from these problems.

This essay critically examines the NAP and the extent to which it can provide support for libertarian political theory. The libertarian “Nonaggression Principle” (NAP) prohibits aggression against the persons or property of others, and it is on this basis that the libertarian opposition to redistributive taxation, legal paternalism, and perhaps even the state itself is thought to rest. The non-aggression principle says the initiation of violence is immoral. A natural question to ask is, what happens if someone does violate the NAP One common answer is that the victim of the aggression then has a right to use force. This is not logically inconsistent with the non-aggression principle. The non-aggression principle, also called the non-aggression axiom, is a concept in which aggression, defined as initiating or threatening any forceful. So if someone is threatening me or my family, I am fully justified in using violence to stop that threat. But it is often presented as a resting upon a simple, indeed commonsense, moral principle. The non-aggression principle leaves room for violence against aggressors. Libertarianism is a controversial political theory.
