Like many libertarians, the author has a fascination with coercion and avoiding claims on individual autonomy. I get this leave me alone principle, and it shows in his introduction, where he focuses on the coercive aspect of philosophical arguments. I sometimes feel I am being manipulated by rhetoric and don't like it but when an author is more inviting, I may listen. So I get his libertarian skepticism.

Metaphysics and why there is something rather than nothing. Nozick mentions Martin Hiedeggar and his weird phraseology on how the nothing nihilates itself and creates something, the way the vacuum in the Yellow Submarine movie by the Beatles sucks up everything, including itself, and a colorful picture then pops into existence.
