Argumentation Ethics
Hans-Hermann Hoppe, who was a doctorate student of Habermas's, developed "Argumentation Ethics" (1988) relying on a similar basic approach but combining insights from praxeology and the deontological ethics of economist Murry Rothbard to arrive at a foundational defense of libertarian negative rights. Hoppe asserts that since verbal argumentation aims to resolve conflicts in a non-violent way, only the Non-aggression principle is consistent with that aim and therefore it is presupposed in argumentation and only it can be argued without contradiction.
