Abstract
QUINCHE RAMIREZ, Manuel Fernando and QUINCHE RAMIREZ, Víctor Alberto. The moral background of the political philosophers -The Nozick case-. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2008, vol.10, n.2, pp.282-301. ISSN 0124-0579.
On the assumption that any complex Modern Political Theory involves a decision about human rights, this article considers a possible assessment of the broader aspects of the conception of the State in the work of Nozick. Based on one critical point of view originally formulated by H.L.A. Hart, it defends the claim that the libertarian conception is untenable in moral terms.
