You should actual read Nozick. He’s extremely magnanimous towards Rawls, Sen, and everybody else he talks about in his book.

None of these people are seething.

>>17525586
There are two major problems with Nozick’s theory I’ve come across so far. First is that his theory of self-ownership has been refuted a couple of different ways, see GA Cohen’s Self-Ownership, Equality and Freedom. And second is that his distribution *is* patterned, because things like disabilities or even just different innate skills aren’t equally distributed.

And again speaking of people seething, despite being a socialist GA Cohen really has nothing but respect for Nozick and his work.

Nozick dropped a monograph on normative political theory and really never revisited the issues again except in brief essays at the end of his life. He's probably the least seething person in recent philosophical history because he approaches all of his philosophical investigations with a sense of play and curiosity. It might make more sense to criticism him in the exact opposite manner you've done so far, as treating something as important as political theory as breezily as he did, relative to the rest of his life's work. But the point is still that his work stands up even though he didn't devote that much of his life to being a full-time political theorist. He was much more concerned about issues in technical epistemology and rational choice/decision theory, if you look at his complete bibliography. Rawls on the other hand never stopped working on the Theory of Justice project.
