Narveson gives the reader the facts on real life issues such as suicide, abortion, war, and sexual harassment. Narveson is the foremost authority on the libertarian idea. From Kant to Nozick, all predisesors will now take a back seat to this contemporary genius. "Moral Matters" will turn every reader into a libertarian. No library, be it public or personal, is complete without a copy of Jan Narveson's "Moral Matters."
