Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State and Utopia (1974) was designed as a rebuttal to Rawls but it was so much more than that. It offered a defence of the minimal state that appealed to the writers of The Sopranos and a vision of utopia that appealed to the founders of Silicon Valley. David explores what Nozick wanted to achieve and identifies the surprising radicalism behind his political minimalism. <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/anarchy-state-and-utopia/9780631197805 " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Recommended version to buy </a> Going Deeper: <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Examined-Life/Robert-Nozick/9780671725013" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Robert Nozick, The Examined Life (1989)</a><a href="https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=3237" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jonathan Wolff, Robert Nozick: Property, Justice and the Minimal State (1991)</a><a href="https://slate.com/culture/2011/06/robert-nozick-father-of-libertarianism-even-he-gave-up-on-the-movement-he-inspired.html#p2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stephen Metcalf, ‘The Liberty Scam’, Slate (2011)</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqIgQC0Gx4Y" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[Video] Shelly Kagan, 'Hedonism and Nozick's Experience Machine' (from Open Yale Courses)</a> <hr> Hosted on Acast.

This is Part 2 of our two-part series on daring leadership, where I unpack four more common types of armor that we use to self-protect when we're in fear. These barriers include creating a fitting-in culture versus a belonging culture; fostering a scarcity-based culture versus modeling that we are enough and have enough; leading reactively versus leading strategically; and resisting change versus accepting and embracing change.

John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice (1971) changed the face of modern political philosophy by reinventing the question of what constitutes fairness. From ‘the veil of ignorance’ to ‘reflective equilibrium’ it introduced new ways of thinking about the problem of justice along with new problems for thinking about politics. David discusses Rawls’s influence on what happened next. <a href="https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674000780#:~:text=Rawls%20aims%20to%20express%20an,thought%20since%20the%20nineteenth%20century." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Recommended version to buy</a> <ul><li><a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/liberalism-and-the-limits-of-justice/michael-j-sandel/9780521567411" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michael Sandel, Liberalism and the Limits of Justice (1982, 1998) </a></li><li><a href="https://www.basicbooks.com/titles/susan-moller-okin/justice-gender-and-the-family/9780465037032/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Susan Moller Okin, Justice, Gender, and the Family (1989)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/in-the-shadow-of-justice/katrina-forrester/9780691216751" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Katrina Forrester, In the Shadow of Justice: Postwar Liberalism and the Remaking of Political Philosophy (2019)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p094b7cq" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[Audio]: 'John Rawls' A Theory of Justice,' BBC Radio 3, Arts & Ideas </a></li></ul> <hr> Hosted on Acast.
