In memoriam, G.A. Cohen
Philosopher G.A. Cohen passed away yesterday. I will leave it to Marc to write more about the man and his profound impact on the field of political philosophy, but wanted to say a few words.
Many people know Cohen as one of the founders of Analytical Marxism, others know him as one of the top commentators on liberalism.
I was fortunate to know him as a teacher. With Marc and Jake, I had the rare opportunity to study with Professor Cohen during one of his last years at the University of Oxford. He was a man truly energized by teaching and he had an endearingly high opinion of his own wit.
I can also say that he let the “real world” challenge and penetrate his rigorous philosophical approach. He will be missed.
