Robert Nozick was a 20th Century American philosopher, best known for his book Anarchy, State, and Utopia, which defended a Libertarian political view. He believed the only legitimate purposes of the state were police, judges, and national defense. He was largely working off of John Rawls's work in A Theory of Justice, which defended social liberalism. Rawls and Nozick were both professors at Harvard at the same time.
