Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia is one of the works
which dominate contemporary debate in political philosophy. Drawing
on traditional assumptions associated with individualism and
libertarianism, Nozick mounts a powerful argument for a minimal
'night-watchman' state and challenges the views of many
contemporary philosophers, most notably John Rawls. This book is
the first full-length study of Nozick's work and of the debates to
which it has given rise. Wolff situates Nozick's work in the
context of current debates and examines the traditions which have
influenced his thought. He then critically reconstructs the key
arguments of Anarchy, State, and Utopia, focusing on Nozick's
doctrine of rights, his derivation of the minimal state, and his
Entitlement Theory of Justice. Wolff subjects Nozick's reasoning to
rigorous scrutiny and argues that, despite the seductive simplicity
of Nozick's libertarianism, it is, in the end, neither plausible
nor wholly coherent. The book concludes by assessing Nozick's place
in contemporary political philosophy.
