Sinossi
Se lo stato non esistesse, sarebbe necessario inventarlo? John Locke, che per prima teorizzò il liberalismo, avrebbe sicuramente risposto di no. Robert Nozick, discendente di quella tradizione filosofico-politica, oggi sostiene di sì. La sua formula à quella dello "stato minimo", che il filosofo statunitense ritiene inevitabile per costruire società capaci di vivere in libertà. Postulato: una ferrea difesa dei diritti individuali. Un libro provocatorio, in grado di suscitare nei lettori di qualunque fede politica la voglia di ripensare il proprio ruolo di cittadini, insieme ai vincoli che derivano dall'appartenere a uno stato. Dalla giustizia al lavoro, dalla solidarietà alla cooperazione, Nozick si interroga sulle legittime funzioni dello Stato.

ASU is a classic work of political philosophy and is widely considered to be the definitive text defending libertarian political theory, which claims that the only justifiable form of political society is one with minimal government and laissez-faire economic system. The proper role of the state is
The first 40-50 pages were almost unreadable. A few clear statements surrounded by almost impossible to understand or follow statements that just did not seem well connected or to logically prove anything. I was actually very disappointed, since I had heard so many positive things about the book for Leggi tutto
The book starts with Locke's state of nature and the anarchist's claim that any state is illegitimate, abusive, and immoral. Then assumes a working and perfect economy along with rational, self-interested, free, and perfectly informed economic agents. The main claim is that given only such assumptio Leggi tutto
Five stars. Nozick's style is great. He just loves to fool around with various ideas. Most of his conclusions are more like "it seems like logic is suggestive of X" statements. Yet he is also a very formal and dense writer (I don't see these as negatives, especially in this case). He also puts in so Leggi tutto
