Theory of justice: Rawls or Nozick

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Certainly Rawls.

But I think "Anarchy, State, and Utopia" is the most well-written book of philosophy I have ever read.  I was actually taking a class from Robert Nozick shortly before he became ill; he was a brilliant and very entertaining teacher.  Unfortunately, the class had to be cancelled after a few weeks due to his illness.  Rawls was also still alive when I was in college, but had long since stopped teaching.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

I tend to be suspicious of a philosophy that entirely ends- or means- based, so I'll have to go with Rawls.

NickG- which school did you go to?

I went to Harvard, class of 2001.
Currently in Law School at Georgetown, will be class of 2006.
