NY Sun, by David L. Schaeffer - In the book, “A Theory of Justice,” John Rawls set forth an account of justice in the form of two principles, ordaining respectively that people’s “equal basic liberties” — such rights as freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the right to vote — should be maximized, and that inequalities in social and economic goods other than liberty are acceptable only if they promote the welfare of the “least advantaged” members of society. /…/ Three years after the appearance of “Theory,” a departmental colleague of Rawls, Robert Nozick, published a libertarian response, “Anarchy, State, and Utopia,” which argued that nothing more than a “minimal state” devoted to protecting people against crimes like assault, robbery, and fraud could be morally justified.
