Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State and Utopia is one of theworks which dominates contemporary debate in political philosophy.Drawing on traditional assumptions associated with individualismand libertarianism, Nozick mounts a powerful argument for a minimal`nightwatchman' state and challenges the views of many contemporaryphilosophers, most notably John Rawls.
Jonathan Wolff's new book is the first full-length study ofNozick's work and of the debates to which it has given rise. Hesituates Nozick's work in the context of current debates andexamines the traditions which have influenced his thought. He thencritically reconstructs the key arguments of Anarchy, State andUtopia, focusing on Nozick's Doctrine of Rights, his Derivationof the Minimal State, and his Entitlement Theory of Justice. Thebook concludes by assessing Nozick's place in contemporarypolitical philosophy.
