Abstract

Robert Nozick najpoznatiji je predstavnik političkog libertarijanizma. Prema tom stajalištu država je opravdana ako je minimalna što znači da kontrolira samo policiju, sudstvo i vojsku. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je prikazati glavne elemente Nozickove minimalne države i kritički se osvrnuti na Nozickove argumente u prilog minimalne države. Zbog teze vlasništva nad samim sobom i odvojenosti pojedinca država ne smije imati veće ovlasti u pogledu intervencije u živote pojedinaca. Referirajući se na John Lockea, opisao je prirodno stanje u kojemu nema nikakve države, već svatko ovisi o sebi. Smatra da bi ljudi na određenom teritoriju oformili više zaštitnih agencija koje bi se udružile u dominantnu zaštitnu agenciju. Nozick to naziva ultra-minimalnom državom. Kako bi pridobili pojedince koji ne bi bili članovi niti jedne zaštitne agencije, dominantna zaštitna agencija bi im nudila kompenzaciju. Neovisni pojedinci odrekli bi se vlastitog prava na kažnjavanje u zamjenu za besplatnu ili jeftiniju uslugu zaštite koju joj pruža dominantna zaštitna agencija. To je način kako bi nastala minimalna država.

Abstract (english)

Robert Nozick is the most famous representative of political libertarianism. According to this position, a state is justified only if it is minimal which means that it controls only police, judiciary, and army. The aim of the present thesis is to show the main elements of Nozick’s minimal state and critically review his arguments for the minimal state. Due to the self-ownership thesis and separateness of individuals, a state must not have greater authority in the aspect of intervention in the lives of individuals. Referring to John Locke, Nozick described the state of nature in which no state exists, but everyone depends on themselves. He believes that on a specific territory people would form “protective associations” which would merge into a “dominant protective association”. Nozick calls such agency “ultra-minimal state”. To attract individuals who would not have been members of any protective agency, the dominant protective agency would offer them compensation. Independent individuals would give up their right to execute punishment in trade for free or cheaper protective service which would have been provided by the dominant protective agency. This is how a minimal state comes into existence.
