The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) is a moral stance that asserts that aggression, defined as the initiation of force or coercion against others, is inherently wrong. This principle is often associated with libertarian philosophy and advocates for peaceful interactions among individuals. It emphasizes that individuals should resolve disputes without resorting to violence or coercive actions. Under the NAP, individuals are encouraged to respect each other's rights to life, liberty, and property. This means that while self-defense is permissible, initiating force against another person or their belongings is not acceptable. The principle aims to promote a society based on voluntary cooperation and mutual respect, minimizing conflict and fostering peaceful coexistence.
