The Voluntaryist Creed

The Voluntaryist Creed is a book that comprises two essays written by Auberon Herbert, a British writer and philosopher. The first essay is the Herbert Spencer Lecture, which he delivered in 1906, and the second essay is a plea for voluntaryism, which was published in 1908. In the first essay, Herbert discusses the principles of individualism and liberty, which he believes are essential for a free and prosperous society. He argues that the state should not interfere with the individual's rights and freedoms, and that people should be free to pursue their own interests and goals without any external coercion. In the second essay, Herbert expands on his ideas of voluntaryism, which is the belief that all human interactions should be voluntary and consensual, without any use of force or coercion. He argues that voluntaryism is the only ethical and moral way of organizing society, and that the state should be abolished in favor of voluntary associations and organizations. The Voluntaryist Creed is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on individualism, liberty, and voluntaryism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
