John; Robert Nozick; I did not know this man and finally found time to read a little online about him. Before reading one of his books - which I suspect are not an easy read - I would like to read a good biography of his life. Can you suggest one? steve

John; Libertarians; Libertarianism is a political philosophy maintaining that all persons are the absolute owners of their own lives, and should be free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property, provided they allow others the same liberty and avoid abusing their liberty That, of course an oversimplification, from Wikipedia. As a starting point though, why would someone NOT want to be the "absolute owners" of their own lives? Why would someone NOT want to be "free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property provided they allow others the same liberty..."? Is this not the embodiment of America?
