Oh man. Richard J. Bernstein. Beyond Objectivism and Relativism changed my life. It set my curriculum of the last two decades, and everything I know is within three degrees of that book. In 2020 I wrote to him and asked if I could send him a letterpress chapbook I made that was directly inspired by what I learned from him, and he actually wrote back to me and accepted it. I love thinking about my little book sitting in his bookshelf among all the books I read because of him.
I’m guessing you have no idea how relevant this post is to what I’ve been philosophizing in my head the past three days as I read this on BART to have lunch with my dad.
