Robert Nozick''s Anarchy, State, and Utopia 1974 is recognised
as a classic of modern political philosophy. Along with John
Rawls''s A Theory of Justice 1971, it is widely credited with
breathing new life into the discipline in the second half of the
twentieth century. This Companion presents a balanced and
comprehensive assessment of Nozick''s contribution to political
philosophy. In engaging and accessible chapters, the contributors
analyse Nozick''s ideas from a variety of perspectives and explore
neglected areas of the work such as his discussion of anarchism and
his theory of utopia. Their detailed and illuminating picture of
Anarchy, State, and Utopia, its impact and its enduring influence
will be invaluable to students and scholars in both political
philosophy and political theory.
