Nozick put forward the concept of minimal state and "a kind of Framework for utopia",namely meta-Utopia,in his book "Anarchy,State and Utopia".These two different concepts are actually the same thing.This article first clarifies the abovementioned "two different concepts" and "the same thing",and then discusses it around the meta-utopia theory.The full text is divided into five chapters.The first chapter explains the research purpose,the current status of research at home and abroad,and the theoretical background.The second chapter explains the typical society of traditional utopia,such as Plato's "ideal state" and More's "Utopia" to understand the inherent characteristics and common features of traditional Utopia,and pave the way for a comparison with the meta-Utopia.The third chapter elaborates the main content of meta-utopia,and proposes that the method of entering meta-utopia is a filtering method and the multi-dimensional characteristics of the utopian framework,and through the connection of the three links of individuals,communities and states,it simply shows that The fact that the limit state is "the same thing" of "different concepts".Chapter four sets out the causes,processes,core ideas and marginal constraints of the creation of the minimal state,and the "invisible hand" interpretation of the minimal state,it demonstrates that the process from the anarchy to the state will not occur.Individual rights are undermined,and more functional states cannot fully guarantee that individual rights are not violated.This is the basis of Nozick's combination of the state and the utopia,from the process of demonstration of the minimal state to the legitimacy of the state and its consistency with the utopian framework,and how the utopian framework looks in the real world.By looking at the elaboration of the minimal state from the perspective of meta-utopia,the two “different concepts” are more specifically explained as “the same thing”.The last chapter is the evaluation of meta-utopia,comparing the difference between meta-utopia and traditional utopia,and getting the innovation of meta-utopia.The multiplicity and inclusiveness of the meta-utopian state reflects to a great extent the respect for individual rights and the pursuit of freedom.Compared with the Utopian spirit pursued by traditional utopia,the concept of uniting the state and Utopia is a great innovation and more realistic.Nozick's framework for utopia in Anarchy,State,and Utopia has taken shape.Rethinking the state by refuting anarchy,and then deducing the minimal state from its natural state—a society that provides protection for people to live in the real world.This country has no right to harm people's rights,and people have absolute freedom right.The plural "one Framework for utopia"(meta-utopia)that was proposed later expressed his extreme liberal ideas and the protection of people's various rights and freedoms.Nozick connects the political system of the minimal state with the Utopian spirit in the Framework for utopia through the community-allowing the community to ease the contradiction between the state and the individual,and the Utopian spirit persists in real society.This is Nozick's The Essence of meta-Utopia.
