Robert Nozick

Robert Nozick (November 16, 1938 - January 23, 2002) was Pellegrino University Professor at Harvard University. Nozick's 1974 classic Anarchy, State and Utopia provided a rigorous libertarian answer to John Rawls's A Theory of Justice, published a couple of years before.

Nozick wrote only sparsely on politics after that book, and his few references to it showed a slight mellowing of his views. He concentrated on other areas of philosophy till his death from stomach cancer in 2002.
