It makes me want to ask a question: I've recently been slowly reading (mostly while walking places - the main time I have to read things that are not essential to my work) Allen Buchanan's oldish book, _Marx and Justice: The Radical Critique of Liberalism_. I'm reading it not only because the subject matter is of some interest to me, but because I know Buchanan's later work well - it's central to some of my interests in the philosophy of international law and questions relating to self-determination. But, in the later work, he gives very little hint of being strongly interested in Marx, which itself raised my interest in the earlier book. I have found the book to be very interesting and well argued, though I do not know Marx's texts well enough to know how well supported the arguments are. But, to get to my point, the last part of the text is a comparison between Rawls and Marx, and in it Buchanan is quite critical of some of the arguments you've made in relation to Rawls, including some of the ones dealing with game theory. He also pointed me to an old review of your Rawls book by Brian Barry, in the Canadian Journal of Philosophy, where some similar criticisms are made. So, I wonder if you've seen Buchanon's book, and if so, what you think of it, and if the arguments you'll present in the lecture are significantly different from the ones that Buchanan (and Barry) thought were not successful, or if they are revisions of those. (I might finally add that I'm not 100% sure that I agree with Buchanan's take on Rawls in the book, so disagreeing with that might be one possible part of a reply.)

Schubert's response was, "My, that's lovely, who wrote it?" I think art production is just one steady, unfolding, process (of becoming) where the notion of finish is a category mistake. I also like Richard Bernstein's claim that, at bottom, Marxism is about the alienation of process.Jerry Fresiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566575038825699112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-2700988962786245052018-11-17T20:11:06.527-05:002018-11-17T20:11:06.527-05:00I like George Monbiot's column in the UK Guard...I like George Monbiot's column in the UK Guardian, I like the blog Crooked Timber, I read a couple of webcomics that update irregularly, I read this, I want to keep an eye on that, etc., etc...<br /><br />How do I track all these things? I could go to each individual website every time I expect or hope there's some new writing or content. But as you can imagine, that's pretty inefficient when the things you want to keep track of number in the dozens. So instead, I have a single webpage (in my case it's called Feedly) that I set up to automatically update every time any of these websites updates. I check this site once or twice a day, and see a feed (in reverse chronological order) of whatever's new.James Camien McGuigganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08323424421768387480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-1534319846444793662018-11-17T17:35:17.455-05:002018-11-17T17:35:17.455-05:00I wrote some silliness in your Comments section a ...I wrote some silliness in your Comments section a while back---for which I apologize.

Most online publications, such as newspapers and blogs, have what is called an "RSS feed." If you regularly read several publications, and want an easy way to keep up with them all, you might get what is called a "feed reader." Feed readers let you "subscribe" to the the RSS feed for these publications. Once you are subscribed, the feed reader will directly receive updates to an RSS feed. Depending on the nature of the publication, the feed may include the entire text of the post (common for blogs), or may only include the headline and a byline, and then you need to click a link to the publication to read the whole piece (common for newspaper articles). A feed reader may be a standalone application, or, nowadays, there are feed readers that are built to be used within your internet browser of choice. Feed readers are especially useful for keeping up with publications that update at irregular intervals, such as blogs.J. W. F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07248247420303472121noreply@blogger.com
