Libertarians recognize the inevitable pluralism of the modern world and for that reason assert that individual liberty is at least part of the common good.

It is precisely because neither individuals nor small groups can be fully self-sufficient that cooperation is necessary to human survival and flourishing.

Equality of rights means that some people cannot simply impose obligations on others, for the moral agency and rights of those others would then be violated.

If an individual is born with the obligation to obey, who is born with the right to command?

Most Europeans have no idea how wild life can be in north America.

To repeat, communitarians maintain that we are constituted as persons by our particular obligations, and therefore those obligations cannot be a matter of choice.
