I spent two hours yesterday afternoon as the guest at a graduate Columbia seminar on anarchism taught by a distinguished member of the Columbia University comparative literature department, Stethis Gourgouris. 15 bright students scattered all across the world, having just read my little book In Defense of Anarachism and my essay On Violence. It was great fun, although I must confess tiring for an old guy. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.
As Donald Sutherland, in a wonderful turn as Mr. Bennett, says at the end of the recent remake of Pride and Prejudice, I am quite at my leisure, so if anyone across the world is looking for a guest in a university seminar, I am available.
Once again, there is something to be said for zoom.
Professor Wolff,
ReplyDeleteI'd be curious to know your thoughts about any of the "classical anarchists": Godwin, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman, et al. I don't recall you discussing them in _In Defense of Anarchism_ or elsewhere. (Of course, maybe that omission says all that needs saying.)
Thanks.
