John Hospers was professor emeritus of philosophy at the University of Southern California. He was also the first Libertarian Party Presidential candidate in 1972. In this lecture given at a California Libertarian Party conference in 1989, Hospers describes the differences between what he calls 'pure' and 'impure' libertarianism. He illustrates differences of opinion between the two in three situations: consent, privacy, and endangerment/risk.
