Safferz Posted December 20, 2013 When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it would be someone posting that he had died But glad to see that's not the case... I hope his Dewey lectures at Columbia are made available online soon, sounds really interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefuturenow Posted December 20, 2013 I hope we don't lose this honest scholar. He exemplifies the scholar's position in this world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
