In the quote, “To be sure, aiming higher is a very tall order for any citizen of the “society” of foul-mouthed, oversexed, and thuggish louts that is now slowly but relentlessly displacing Western Civilization. But it must be done, nonetheless, if the free society is to survive, and libertarians who think otherwise are deluded“? (Feser 9), Edward seems to offer a comprehensive explanation about libertarianism. To illustrate, this author is telling people to alienate themselves from libertarianism because this movement appears to deplete western civilization. In consideration with the above information, Feser indicates that the issues resulting to principles of libertarianism as well as indicating the manner into which these standards influence the way people interact and operate within the community. 

In the first place, Feser holds that the libertarian approach does not lay concerns on the moral ethics since it intends at sustaining the power of the state. Owing to the above factor, this author considers libertarianism as the adoption of strategies regarding the traditional attitudes and views, which support personal liberty as well as promoting altruism in the community. On the other hand, Feser denotes that the aspect that political association between the conservatives and libertarians is characteristically unsound is just a cliché. Indeed, the above allegations appear to have been made by individuals who are unaware of either conservatism or libertarianism. 

Generally, libertarianism is also supporting immoral behaviors within the society. For instance, Feser argues that libertarianism can be taken as enthusiasm for homosexuality and abortion since the individuals depending on this theory tend to develop a negative attitude and disagree with moral principles, although they do not show direct opposition toward these rules. In summary, Feser shows that libertarianism approach operates under directives that it is not good to impose traditional scruples by using the rule of law.
