Abstract: Robert Nozick’s entitlement theory is one of the cornerstones of his theory of justice. Being one of the pillars of the argument in the defense of a minimal State, it has been a target for much criticism. This article studies some of these attacks in order to show that many of them are either misguided, or are based on misunderstandings which are eliminated through an adequate interpretation of the function played by Locke’s proviso and the principle of rectification within Nozick’s theory. In discussing these principles, though, the article put forward the reading that a realist consideration of the conditions under which an entitlement theory should be applied would entail a defense of a more than minimal State, for much longer than Nozick would admit.
