Media Reviews

No contemporary philosopher possesses a more imaginative mind, broader interests, or greater dialectical abilities than Robert Nozick. --Harper's
Complex, sophisticated and ingenious. --The Economist
[Nozick's] powers of argument are profound, and his insights are at times staggering in their brilliance. --New Republic
A major event in contemporary political philosophy...[Nozick] is always stimulating; an open-minded study of what he has to say could be a healthy tonic for romantic leftists. --Peter Singer, New York Review of Books
