    Robert Nozick's Entitlement Theory of Justice in The View of Indian Judiciary

    Uploaded by

    akash anand
    Robert Nozick's entitlement theory of justice proposes that individuals have rights and the state should be minimal. Nozick criticizes John Rawls's theory of distributive justice, arguing redistribution violates self-ownership rights. As an alternative, Nozick's entitlement theory holds that people are entitled to whatever was justly acquired, transferred, or held according to the principles of justice in acquisition and transfer of property. This paper will explore Nozick's theory of justice, justice in holdings, individual rights, and the minimal state to assess if it can stand as a universal theory of justice.

    The researcher comes with a hypothesis that Rawl’s theory aims at the welfare of the society
    as a whole without neglecting the poor and underprivileged.

    MODE OF RESEARCH: The researcher relied on doctrinal research.

    LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

    1. The paper is restricted to a secondary means of research, conducted only by means of


    internet sources and the books.

    INTRODUCTION
    The American political philosopher Robert Nozick, a libertarian liberal, best known for his
    first book Anarchy State and Utopia published in 1974 . Nozick is an advocate for eighteenth
    century individualism and nineteenth century capitalism. He is not an anarchist but being
    influenced by the individualist-anarchist Murray Rothbard, proposes a form of radical
    individualism within a state structure. To Nozick, “the minimal state is the most extensive
    state justified” and if the state were to seek wider role than the narrow function of providing
    protection against force, theft, fraud and enforcement of contracts then it is violating
    individuals rights.

    Central to Nozick’s work is individuals’ rights which are evident from his audacious
    statement on the preface to his book that “individuals have rights and there are things no
    person or group may do to them (without violating their rights)”. Nozick, in particular, is
    critical of John Rawls, arguably the most important political philosopher of the twentieth
    century whose book, A Theory of Justice , generated more discussion and commentary than
    any other book of political and social theory published since World War II. Central to
    Nozick’s criticism of Rawls’ theory targets the end-result oriented methods, but the theory of
    redistribution, in particular. Nozick absolutely rejects the idea of redistribution and maintains
    that it contradicts the idea of self-ownership. He further stresses that redistribution makes
    others “a part-owner of you giving] them a property right in you”. As an alternative to Rawls’
    theory, Nozick suggests his entitlement theory. One of the main problem with Nozick’s
    arguments is the “abstractness of the individualism they presuppose” and individualism,
    according to Lukes, is a “distorting lens that satisfies the intellect while simplifying the
    world”. Nozick attempts to isolate people with individualism which is contrary to the fact that
    “people are constituted by the societies into which they are socialised and live”. This article
    will explore Nozick’s theory of justice, justice in holdings, individual rights and the minimal
    state as to whether these concepts can stand as universal theory taking into account the
    surrounding academic literature.
