@MarcODeGirolami It’s not on the Metaphysics only, but Jonathan Lear’s Aristotle: The Desire to Understand is excellent, including on the Metaphysics.

@MarcODeGirolami @OrinKerr @jordanlperkins Robert Bork was hired at Yale in 1962 and already an economic libertarian, and he was a vocal supporter of Goldwater’s in 1964. But, again, 60 years…

I met Gerry some 20 years ago through a mutual friend, Bill Gould. He was a beautiful soul and a testament that many great men of letters are outside of conventional academia. Fond memories of drinks at the U Club of NY discussing the permanent things. RIP.

[The University Bookman @ubookman]

It is with a heavy heart that the @ubookman and @KirkCenter family announce the passing yesterday of our longtime editor, Gerald J. Russello (1971-2021) after a battle with cancer. We'll pass along details as soon they are determined. Please pray for his family and his soul.

@TheAristoteIian I had a portrait of Thomas More in my office at the White House (EEOB). Karl Rove came by to welcome me, and as he left he saw it, chuckled, and said, “What do you think we’re going to ask of you here?”

[Michael Moreland @MorelandMP]

@RickGarnett @MarcODeGirolami Worth recalling that Murray was a fierce defender of the right of religious schools to receive public aid ("a principle of distributive justice" he called it) and a critic of post-Everson/McCollum Establishment Clause doctrine.

@wrdcsc The Eagles only fire their best coaches.

@BMcCSJ @MassimoFaggioli I actually think the introduction to WHTT is quite prescient in his discussion of pluralism, consensus, barbarism, and decadence.

[Michael Moreland @MorelandMP]

@ubookman @SWGoldman I think when Breyer replaced Blackmun--then you had Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, RBG, and Breyer.

[Carter Snead @cartersnead]

Grateful to @MorelandMP for his generous and thoughtful review of What It Means to Be Human: The Case for the Body in Public Bioethics https://t.co/DsnuvZK0Uu in @PublicDiscourse today. @Harvard_Press @HarvardUPLondon @RyanTAnd

[Michael Moreland @MorelandMP]

@MarcODeGirolami @RickGarnett @jennfrey @fbeckwith @RyanTAnd @NelsonTebbe I second the recommendation of Greenawalt’s 1984 article. Seeger and Welsh (two draft exemption cases) are often trotted out for that topic and could prompt a good discussion, though their discussion of the problem is a little...imprecise.
