He situates Nozick's work in the context of current debates and examines the traditions which have influenced his thought. He then critically reconstructs the key arguments of \u003ci\u003eAnarchy, State and Utopia\u003c\/i\u003e, focusing on Nozick's \u003ci\u003eDoctrine of Rights, his Derivation of the Minimal State\u003c\/i\u003e, and his \u003ci\u003eEntitlement Theory of Justice\u003c\/i\u003e.
