The Entitlement Theory of distributive justice Robert Nozick

Entitlement Theory: Justice in Acquisition (Legitimately moving something from an unheld state into a held state) Justice in Transfer (moving from one holder to another, or divesting) No one is entitled to anything except by applications of 1) and 2).

Is an historical rather than patterned view: Patterned (end-state, time-slice) Justice is determined by how a distribution came about, not by how it looks at any given time. Justice is a process Justice is an outcome  You can tell if a society is Just by looking at the way that wealth is distributed at some given time and seeing if it fits or does not fit some pattern. Equality Education Punitive Merit (social utility) Work (Marx) Rawls (choices behind veil of ignorance)

Why is an historical view preferable? Because Liberty upsets patterns. Consider: D1 D2 Wilt signs deal for $.25 per ticket Wilt has $250,000, more than anyone else Your favorite pattern

Conflicting values Rawls Nozick Outcome Equality Low reward Low risk Safety Process Liberty High reward High risk Efficiency

Troubles? (from Julian Sanchez) Nozick’s view may commit the fallacy of composition (assuming that features of parts become features of the whole) Might be similar to environmental damage: one person washing clothes in a river does not harm, so is environmentally just. A million doing the same thing is not environmentally just.
