From the web:

Voluntaryism, also known as voluntary action, is a philosophy that emphasises individual freedom and consent in all human interactions.

Definition:

• Voluntaryism asserts that individuals should be free to choose their goals and methods within societal and cultural boundaries.
• It stands in opposition to actions that are coerced or predetermined.

Modern Usage:

• The term voluntaryism gained renewed prominence in the late 20th century, particularly within libertarianism in the United States.
• Key beliefs of voluntaryists include:
  • Natural rights: Recognizing inherent rights of individuals.
  • Equality: Treating all individuals equally.
  • Non-coercion: Rejecting the use of force.
  • Non-aggression: Advocating peaceful interactions.

The Voluntary State:

• Voluntaryists support a voluntary-funded state, where coercion and force (such as taxation) are absent.
• Instead of compulsory taxation, they propose voluntary funding mechanisms.
• The philosophy aligns with strict adherence to pacifism, civil rights, and mutually agreed-upon court systems for dispute resolution.

In summary, voluntaryism champions individual autonomy, consent, and the absence of coercion in societal interactions. It’s a fascinating perspective that challenges conventional notions of governance and authority.

 

Natural law is a philosophical concept that holds that certain principles of morality and justice are inherent in the nature of the universe and human beings.

Definition:

• Natural law (Latin: ius naturale, lex naturalis) is a system of law based on close observation of natural order and human nature.
• It allows proponents to deduce values intrinsic to human nature independently of positive law (the express enacted laws of a state or society).

Historical Roots:

• Ancient Greek philosophers, including Aristotle, explored the concept of natural law.
• Cicero referred to it in ancient Roman philosophy.
• References to natural law are also found in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.
• Christian philosophers like Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas further developed natural law during the Middle Ages.
