Summary/Abstract: In this paper author analyzes some aspects of Robert Nozick's theory of justice. Starting from differentiating between the historical and end-state theories of distributive justice, he explores some of the key elements of Nozick's libertarian theory. Nozick develops his position by criticizing egalitarian premises of end-state and current time-slice theories in which the pattern of distribution of goods and services in the society is established. Therefore, Nozick argues, if any such pattern (egalitarian or not) is to be preserved arbitrary coercion over the people’s lives contiously must be exercised. Author, in this connection, spells out Nozick’s basic anti-distributionist standpoint by contrasting his entitlement theory with various forms of socialist distributive justice conception, pointing out advantages of Nozick’s libertarian approach.
