Robert Nozick - Property, Justice and the Minimal State
Robert Nozicka s Anarchy, State and Utopia is one of the works which dominates contemporary debate in political philosophy. Jonathan Wolffa s new book is the first full--length study of Nozicka s work and of the debates to which it has given rise. Drawing on traditional assumptions associated with individualism and libertarianism, Nozick mounts a powerful argument for a minimal 'nightwatchmana state and challenges the views of many contemporary philosophers, most notably John Rawls.
He then critically reconstructs the key arguments of Anarchy, State and Utopia, focusing on Nozicka s Doctrine of Rights, his Derivation of the Minimal State, and his Entitlement Theory of Justice. He situates Nozicka s work in the context of current debates and examines the traditions which have influenced his thought. The book concludes by assessing Nozicka s place in contemporary political philosophy.
