At this reception and discussion, Gregory J. Robson, Christopher Freiman, Phillip W. Magness, and Emily Nozick discuss Robert Nozick and his classic book, "Anarchy, State, and Utopia," first published fifty years ago. Nozicks book refuted social-justice statismbut also rankled many conservatives and libertarians. This event coincides with the publication of the Fall 2024 special issue of The Independent Review, featuring scholars who revisit Nozicks rational, complex, and balanced case for individual liberty and limited government. These scholars not only admire Nozick and deepen our understanding of his seminal work but also honor him with important disagreements and reinterpretations. Selected authors from the special issue will join us.
