dc.description.abstractIn this research, the options to persuade an extremely right wing libertarian into changing his behavior towards damaging the environment are discussed. The method which will be used is that, in trying to persuade the most extreme right wing libertarian position, less radical arguments will simultaneously be reviewed, albeit as not strong enough for this case. The following arguments will be discussed and evaluated: The Ability-to-Pay and the Polluter-Pays principles, granting the environment inherent worth, the Clean Hands Principle and Free Market Environmentalism. Conclusively, granting the environment inherent worth will turn out to be the most potent argument, but is still not entirely convincing and thus further research is required from the libertarian perspective.
