Robert Nozick MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Robert Nozick? Robert Nozick is an ENTP personality type in MBTI, 5w6 - - in Enneagram, SCUEI in Big 5, ILE in Socionics.
His moral philosophy is based around the idea of consent and Nozick is willing to take the idea to its logical extremes, even going so far as to suggest voluntary slavery was ethical. This seems to me like the whole stereotype of ENTP with PoLR Fi suggesting that stabbing someone isn't immoral if they consent to it. Also, Nozick was very big on using thought experiments in his philosophy, which is more of a Ti-Ne strategy (Einstein, an INTP, was a large user of thought experiments in deriving his theory of relativity.) A Te-Dom would be more likely to focus on the practical effects of a voluntarist vs utilitarian society.
Biography
Robert Nozick is a key figure along the libertarian-right of the political spectrum and is best-known for the philosophical debate with John Rawls concerning the role of justice. Nozick sought to defend the concept of natural justice i.e. that justice is served by considering that which would occur naturally without state interference. Social justice (advocated by Rawls) however takes the opposite view and requires a degree of state intervention. Both sides of the debate claim their outlook is the fairest. Nozick wrote widely throughout his career, but his most important work remains ‘Anarchy, the State and Utopia’
