I also just watched Les Derniers Jours D'Emmanuel Kant (The Last Days of Immanuel Kant on youtube.

I posted the following there:<br /><br />Prof Wolff visited South Africa in the late 1980s and gave a number of spectacular lectures. He joined us in placard protests against apartheid. If I recall correctly, he joked at the time that he did not get arrested for protesting against the Vietnam War and was hoping that he could make up for it then. None of us got arrested, despite the protest being filmed by the police. What a privilege to have heard his lectures and engage him broadly on a range of topics. Hope he sees this and remembers the visit.<br /><br />Thank you for making yourself available to so many aspiring or budding political theorists. You have no idea of the incredible impact you had on a generation of students at Wits University.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537714731008418855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-69147052364663144462020-08-03T08:46:00.849-04:002020-08-03T08:46:00.849-04:00a nice piece on him here<a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2013/01/02/180819/in-a-frogs-eye/" rel="nofollow">a nice piece on him here</a> DDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563878282038308662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-3943177225798552752020-08-03T08:37:57.309-04:002020-08-03T08:37:57.309-04:00Back in the day (early 70s) I sat in on Lettvin...Back in the day (early 70s) I sat in on Lettvin's (very very popular) course. He was pretty amazing. He gave a brilliant (and funny) lecture on his famous (and important) paper: <a href="https://hearingbrain.org/docs/letvin_ieee_1959.pdf" rel="nofollow">frog's eye</a>DDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563878282038308662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-13086182227707706872020-08-02T11:43:04.097-04:002020-08-02T11:43:04.097-04:00https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/de/Let...https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/de/Lettvin_Faraday_cage.jpgAndrew Lionel Blaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976034095806583387noreply@blogger.com
