Rawls 

Philosophy is not one of my strong points, but I was struck by Chris Bertram’s comments on the death of John Rawls.

“In two centuries time I believe that people will still read and think about John Rawls and argue about how to understand him. In 1804, I imagine that few people would have taken seriously the idea that Immanuel Kant’s death marked the passing of the greatest living German and I don’t suppose many people today would think that the greatest living American has died — in two hundred years the verdict may be different.”
