Reddit reviews On Nozick (Wadsworth Philosophers)

Well, it's not as if Feser doesn't have some expertise on Nozick. More to the point, again, as Nozick is a sort of Kantian, what's of utmost importance for him is respecting the separateness of persons and, in particular, respecting their autonomy. Nozick is using the thought experiment to argue the quasi-democracy reached at the end of it no more respects the separateness of persons, their autonomy, and so forth than do the initial conditions of slavery. And the reason for that is because it remains non-consensual.
