I don’t know of any libertarian philosophy that really considers the importance or moral value of other people’s agency let alone one that actively seeks to enable agency in others in order to do or maximize good. As far as I understand libertarianism, its pretty much just concerned with “self” and the only other-regarding aspect of it is ensuring that others don’t interfere with others, in order to preserve “self”, which makes it not other-regarding at all. There’s certainly little if any altruism involved. I mean, an individual libertarian could pursue altruism, I suppose, but its not a part of the underlying philosophy. I’d actually suggest that altruism, which is a reciprocal behavior, is pretty opposing to libertarian behaviors.
