Anti-Climacus

LINK: Norm Geras at normblog was so kind as to make me the normblog profile for this week. Norm is one of those people who I've been reading almost since I started blogging, and one of his books--The Contract of Mutual Indifference--played as big a role in my becoming a political theorist as anything else (he also wrote, I believe, the definitive refutation of Richard Rorty's Contingency, Irony and Solidarity, called Solidarity in the Conversation of Humankind; chapter 1 in particular is just devastating, and exactly the sort of empirical-and-theoretical method I hope to employ), so to say it's an honor is something of an understatement.
