David Gordon contributes to the C4SS spontaneous order symposium.
A reply from me to all three commentators will follow, probably at the end of the week.
I just finished listening to Elizabeth Anderson’s Dewey Lecture in Law and Philosophy at the University of Chicago, on “Tom Paine and the Ironies of Social Democracy.” It’s a great lecture, and I highly recommend it to BHL readers (along with her recent interview in 3:AM here). The thesis [...]

Reshef Agam-Segal contributes to the C4SS spontaneous order symposium.
In the process of looking for something else this evening, I came across some remarks I delivered in 2006 as a respondent at a faculty colloquium where the main talk was given by Professor Juliet Schor from Harvard. I had forgotten about them and upon rereading them thought they might be of interest to this [...]
I’ve recently had the privilege of taking over the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Public Justification from political philosopher Fred D’Agostino. Our new co-authored entry (which I will fully take over in 2016) should be of interest to those readers interested in political philosophy generally and public [...]

Obama’s “you didn’t build that!”: A Long Pedigree
By Fernando Teson On July 24, 2012 · 58 Comments · In Academic Philosophy, Current Events, Social Justice
I am somewhat surprised by the reaction to the view expressed by Barack Obama, that successful people don’t deserve (all or much of the) credit for their success. Critics acted as if these views had been uttered for the first time ever, as if Obama had introduced a new, revolutionary thought in our public discourse. [...]
