Summary:Robert Nozick''s Anarchy, State, and Utopia is widely recognized as one of the most influential works of modern political philosophy. Libertarian Philosophy in the Real World not only provides a concise and accessible introduction to Nozick''s ideal rights-based, minimal libertarian state, but for the first time applies this moral framework to America''s liberal democracy. Mark D. Friedman clearly presents Nozick''s arguments for natural rights, showing that his theory undermines the very idea of social justice, and enables libertarians to rebut the most common objections to their doctrine.
