...since the wonderful political philosopher Jonathan Wolff from University College London is here in Austin for a few days as a guest of the Law & Philosophy Program, with various seminars and talks on the schedule. How many people have written first-rate books on Nozick and Marx? And his Introduction to Political Philosophy (OUP, 1996) may be the best introductory text out there right now. In addition to talking about his Marx book, he'll be giving papers and workshops on "What is Disdvantage and What Should Be Done About It?" and "Disability in a Society of Equals."
