Originally, the term libertarian was a theological term. A libertarian was someone who believed the theological doctrine of free will as opposed to any system of predestination (i.e. Reformed theology or Calvinism). Philosophical libertarianism implies the application of the doctrine of free will to all aspects of thought and life from epistemology to ethics. Similarly, the political libertarian holds free will or liberty to be the highest value in politics and economics (or political economy). | Originally, the term libertarian was a theological term.
