Abstract

Republicanism is a political philosophy that defines freedom as non-domination, which could presumably only be achieved within a political community characterized by citizen participation and oriented toward the pursuit of the common good. Our aim in this chapter is to demonstrate why republican freedom is not attainable through the republican institutional framework and why, instead, we could only approach it through an anarchist institutional framework in which the individual right to political secession is tolerated. But an anarchist institutional framework where individual secession is allowed is an institutional framework compatible with the libertarian notion of freedom as non-interference, based on the sovereignty of the individual to associate and disassociate with other individuals. Consequently, republican freedom ends up converging institutionally with libertarian freedom.
