Philosophy, in this context, is recognized as "an analysis of the grounds for expressing fundamental beliefs"
The label "Libertarian" describes a political party. To many (including many Libertarians) the word describes no more than the party, and a loosely associated set of political positions.
But why do Libertarians hold those positions?
What unifies those positions?
It is in answering those questions, that we enter the realm of philosophy... no?

Okay, so libertarian isn't a philosophy. I was 99.9% certain that I was right about that. Of course, you're free to think it's a philosophy or create a formal writing that can be recognized as libertarian philosophy.

Dude, I can't believe that you're saying that the LP is founded on an integrated philosophy!
"Entering the realm of philosophy" in no way does the heavy lifting required to create a philosophy.
Tell me sparky, what is Libertarian metaphysics? What is Libertarian epistemology?
