I’m just back from a trip which included a visit to Manchester for “a conference to honour the academic career of Norman Geras”:http://les1.man.ac.uk/government/whatsnew/manceptconference.html . Chris Brooke of The Virtual Stoa “asks”:http://users.ox.ac.uk/~magd1368/weblog/2004_03_01_archive.html#107920404047110697 how it went. Very well indeed, I think. I gave a paper in the morning on the relationship between Marx and Rousseau, Ian Kershaw gave a most interesting paper on the singularity of the Holocaust, Shane O’Neill spoke about Richard Rorty and Simon Caney about the concept of a crime against humanity. The discussion was all very friendly and civilised and I got the impression that “Norm”:http://normblog.typepad.com/ enjoyed the event (though he hasn’t blogged about it yet). Anyway, thanks to Norm and Hillel and the other folks in Manchester for inviting me: it was an honour and a pleasure.
