I missed that.<br /><br />It is interesting that Rawls never said a word to RPW about his book. <br /><br />I've used this book a lot in trying to come to terms with Rawls.

It was the first book published about Rawls, and IMHO [which my sons tell me is webspeak for "in my humble opinion"] it is a rather clear explication and a powerful critique. I sent Jack Rawls the first copy [we knew one another] and he never said a word about it. Maybe history has decided that it is beneath notice.

I was reading Samuel Freeman's book Rawls, and I was surprised that your important work Understanding Rawls wasn't referenced at all.<br /><br />Is there a reason for this? A history? I gone through your work and it seems that your critiques are central to understanding Rawls' overall scheme/purpose.<br />thanks!<br />DanielDANIELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00102083853706680581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-71158177277946656102014-03-02T15:32:19.319-05:002014-03-02T15:32:19.319-05:00According to BBC news, Kerry was on record as foll...According to BBC news, Kerry was on record as follows: "You just don't in the 21st-Century behave in 19th-Century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped-up pretext".
