AN IMPORTANT BIT OF INFORMATION

I am sure we are all interested in the lively discussion about Hegel prompted by my remarks, but we must not lose sight of what is the most important tidbit of information to emerge from the fog.

CHRIS IS FINISHING UP HIS DISSERTATION!

Congratulations to Chris.  I wrote a letter in support of his application to graduate school, and now he is about to finish up!

I hope, Chris, that in this brutal job market, you bag a good tenure track job somewhere.

I feel as though one of my children has taken a first step.

    Chris,

    You're someone who can make a significant contribution to philosophy as a discipline and to teaching your students to reason with their eyes open.

    I join Professor Wolff in hoping that you find a good tenure track job, which is due recognition to your obvious merits as a thinker.

    Congratulations Chris. Good luck on the job market -- it's a jungle out there.

    Thank you everyone, especially Professor Wolff!

    I'm drafting the final chapter now, and I suspect I'll spend the summer doing revisions and hopefully defend either over summer or Fall 2019.

    The job market is brutal, but I do see social and political philosophy is close to a top hire, and my CV is - for my present position - better than most. The last few people to graduate from here did land jobs. So we'll see.
