IMPORTANT CORRECTION
Ernie Sosa just wrote to tell me that he never got a call from UMass, and certainly did not [and I think it is fair to say, would not] use such a call to get his salary raised. My humble apologies. I will go back into the text and change it.
I am new to your memoirs and just catching up, so please pardon the slightly out of sequence question concerning your time at Columbia. You don't mention many of the students there during your time except, naturally enough, the ones working with you. It strikes me that the most brilliant student there at that time was Raymond Geuss. I have wondered whether some of his critique of Rawls and liberalism more generally was nurtured during his graduate years in contact with your work. Did you know him at all back then?
As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

I knew Ray, but I cannot recall that he ever studied with me. Let me check my records.
