Nozick, Robert

Robert Nozick was a philosopher best known for his work on political theory, particularly in his book *Anarchy, State, and Utopia*. He argued for a minimal state limited to protecting individual rights, such as security and property, rejecting extensive government intervention. Nozick believed that individuals have natural rights to their possessions and that wealth is justly acquired through free exchange. His ideas emphasize personal liberty and voluntary associations, advocating for a society where people are free to pursue their own goals as long as they do not infringe on others’ rights.
