I’ve known about Brian Leiter for a while, mostly for his philosophy department rankings. However, in teaching On the Genealogy of Morals, I decided to have a go at reading Leiter’s Nietzsche on Morality (thoughts on this topic later)- which I think is excellent. I also know that Leiter is a legal realist, and I was curious if he responded to the decision to expand the scope of Twombley to civil rights cases today (definitely more on this later).
While looking for such a post, I found a blog post that inspired my heart to soar. I now know that I love Brian Leiter. His post that I adore? “Does the NY Times Not Realize That Stanley Fish is Philosophically Incompetent?”
… Aaaaand cue the man-crush.
