Robert Nozick and Economic Justice

Robert Nozick is one of the great philosophers most people do not know about. He was born in 1938, and died in 2002. The topics he wrote on ranged from existentialism to universal construction. His best known writing, however, was a book published in 1974 titled "Anarchy, State, and Utopia."

The book was so profound that Nozick was given the title of the father of libertarianism. His arguments for a totally free market economic system are certainly more compelling than those proposed by Hayek, von Mises, and Ayn Rand. Unlike those three who seemed to have a personal agenda or financial backing to push, Nozick offered his philosophy from a humanistic standpoint.

Abraham Lincoln: A Life of Contradiction

Abraham Lincoln was a man whose life can best be described as a contradiction. Many people believe he was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Presidents in American history. Those who don’t believe that think he was one of the worst, if not the worst, Presidents in American history.
He certainly is one of the polar Presidents. People either love him or hate him. There just is not much middle ground regard for him.
