Anarchy, State, and Utopia: An Advanced Guide presents a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the ideas expressed in Robert Nozick’s highly influential 1974 work on free-market libertarianism—considered one of the most important and influential works of political philosophy published in the latter half of the 20th-century.

  • Makes accessible all the major ideas and arguments presented in Nozick’s complex masterpiece
  • Explains, as well as critiques, Robert Nozick’s theory of free market libertarianism
  • Enables a new generation of readers to draw their own conclusions about the wealth of timely ideas on individualism and libertarian philosophy
  • Indicates where Nozick’s theory has explanatory power, where it is implausible, and where there are loose ends with further work to be done
