Description
Summary:the present article aims at reconstructing Robert Nozick&amp;rsquo;s cen-tral arguments about the extreme positions held by North American li-bertarians who do not distinguish between Welfare state and totalitarian state. Despite divergences on a pivotal question, that of the state, there are some affinities between Nozick and this current of thought. Contrary to the anarchist theory, the Minimal state is preferable to the state of nature as described by John locke.<br>O presente artigo tem como objetivo reconstruir argumentos cen-trais, desenvolvidos por Robert Nozick, acerca das posi&amp;ccedil;&amp;otilde;es extremas que n&amp;atilde;o diferenciam Estado-provid&amp;ecirc;ncia e Estado totalit&amp;aacute;rio na pol&amp;iacute;tica dos libertarianos norte-americanos, isto &amp;eacute;, sobre as afinidades percebidas por Nozick com as teses desta corrente de pensamento, embora se afastando num ponto essencial: a quest&amp;atilde;o do Estado. Ao contr&amp;aacute;rio da teoria anar-quista, o Estado m&amp;iacute;nimo &amp;eacute; prefer&amp;iacute;vel ao estado de natureza, tal como John locke o descreve.
