Lol. But in all seriousness. What are your opinions on Nozick. To me he seems to have similar conclusions to Ayn Rand politically, but goes about it in a different way...and comes across as less sociopathic. I have just started to read Anarchy, State, and Utopia. I have gotten interested in the idea of contract theory and treating people as an ends in themselves and only bending that within the terms of the contract. The question I might have is concerning what to do if somebody breaks the contract.
Nozick as Mr. Rogers

that was the view I used to have of him. One of my best freinds whose opinons I greatly respect, Lantz Miller, author of City Limit (a novel) got me t read Philosophical Explanations. It's not so bad. I like his stuff on free will. He's pro free will and if I am reading him right establishes the basis for it. I don't class him with Rand.

Re: Nozick as Mr. Rogers
Of course he's not Ayn Rand. But both are people that emphasize a minimalist state (minarchists) and emphasize personal freedoms and free enterprise.Metacrock wrote:mdsimpson92 wrote:http://existentialcomics.com/comic/38

I do remember Nozick made one or two things criticizing hedonistic utilitarianism.
