Abstract

For Robert Nozick, one must understand that the state is needed and how it can be understood without offending rights (the natural right not coercion). This study aims to explore basic concepts of the theory of Robert Nozick and check if a reasonable political theory. Initially, it was exposed an overview of the libertarian conception developed by Nozick, based on the first part of Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1974), because his thinking has been little studied and disseminated. Later, the idea of political society and its members were analyzed and compared with theoretical concepts developed by the contemporary philosopher John Rawls. Finally, some characteristics of Nozick's thesis were examined to understand if it would be a comprehensive doctrine and how it could be characterized as rational and reasonable on the plurality of conceptions of the good life.
