Robert Nozick's Theory of Entitlement

This study delves into Robert Nozick's theory of entitlement and its differentiation from other justice theories. He characterises it as a theory devoid of historical patterns. Nozick avoids using the term "redistribution" due to its non-neutral connotations and instead opts for the term justice in property, unlike patterned and ahistorical theories. The theory is founded on three fundamental principles. The initial one pertains to justice in acquisition, dictating the rightful initial steps to property. The subsequent principal deals with justice in transferring property, focusing on the legitimate methods of transitioning between distributions. Lastly, the third principal addresses rectifying the injustices highlighted by Nozick. It addresses various significant issues, such as the distinction between correction within generations and correction between generations.
