Wow. John Rawls is dead.
Now there's the passing of a jurisprudential era, and of an amazingly deep, original, and influential thinker. Wow. I've been blown away by reading his material. Nussbaum described him just recently as "the most distinguished moral and political philosopher of our age".
A story of his passing in Harvard University Gazette and the New York Times. Recent profiles on Rawls (who was 81 at his death) can be found in the The Wilson Quarterly (Berkowitz), and UPI, as well as the Nussbaum piece.
