Attack the System
Robert Nozick and the Evolution of Anti-State Thought

June 26, 2013

Keith Preston discusses the work of the late Harvard philosopher Robert Nozick.

Topics include:

Nozick’s “Anarchy, State, and Utopia” as a landmark work in political philosophy and its influence in academia.
How both the Left and Right often read Nozick selectively and vulgarize his thinking.
The relevance of Nozick’s concept of the “ultra-minimal state” to fourth generation warfare theory.
Nozick’s concept of a meta-utopia of self-determined communities and how this presents a model for the evolution of anti-state radicalism beyond both leftist anarcho-social democracy and vulgar libertarian plutocratic apologies.
