Robert Nozick on Responsibility - Dictionary of Arguments

Singer I 220
Principles/Responsibility/Nozick/P. Singer: Nozick makes a sensible distinction between "historical" and "time slices" principles. (R. Nozick 1974)(1):
Def historical principle/Nozick: in order to understand whether a given distribution of goods is fair or unfair, we have to ask how the distribution came about. We need to know its history.
Are the parties entitled to ownership as a result of originally justified acquisition?
Def time-slice principles/Nozick: consider only the current situations and do not ask about their realization.
>Time-slices
