Robert Nozick was a Harvard philosopher whose 1974 book 'Anarchy, State, and Utopia' argued for a minimal 'night-watchman' state and became the classic libertarian reply to John Rawls's theory of justice. His wide-ranging later work spanned epistemology, decision theory and the meaning of life. He was born in Brooklyn to a Jewish family; his father was an immigrant from Russia.
