Robert Nozick

Individuals have rights and there are things no person or group may do to them (without violating their rights). So strong and far-​reaching are these rights that they raise the question of what, if anything, the state and its officials may do. How much room do individual rights leave for the state?

Philosopher Robert Nozick, Anarchy, State and Utopia (1974), first sentence.
