metadata.value: The article is devoted to the analysis of the ethical concept of risk presented in the
  central work of R. Nozick “Anarchy, the State and Utopia” (1974) (chapter “Prohibition,
  compensation and risk” and prerequisites), one of the most influential representatives of modern Western political philosophy. Despite the fact that, along with
  the “A Theory of Justice” by J. Rawls, this work is the most important for the modern
  Western discourse on the moral foundations of politics, the concept of risk included
  in it as a necessary element has almost never been the subject of detailed consideration
  in the domestic research tradition. Referring to modern academic discussion,
  built around the idea of “risk society” by U. Beck and other risk theories, the authors
  correlate the key issues of equity in the production and consumption of risks, their
  distribution, conflict interaction of the parties to risk relations with the R. Nozick’s
  provisions. The article traces the path traversed by R. Nozick from posing the question
  of the necessity of the state as such to the moral foundations of prohibition, risk
  and compensation in a “state of nature”. It examines the possible reactions outlined
  by the philosopher to risky actions and the collisions of their moral justification. As
  a result of the analysis, the authors conclude that R. Nozick’s ethical concept of risk
  allows us to identify some key features, without answering to which it will be impossible
  to establish morally justified regulators of risk relations: 1) is a fair system of
  risk distribution possible in principle and compensation; 2) whether it is necessary
  to include risk reflection in the exchange package, that is, the fear experienced by
  potential victims of a risky action.
