This is a crosspost, but The Times Literary Supplement published a nice historical piece on John Rawls‘ relationship with Christianity. Authored by Joshua Cohen and Thomas Nagel, the article is a shortened version of their co-written introduction to a book just released from Harvard University Press. – TL

S-USIH Comment Policy
We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.
Great minds think alike, Tim. I was thinking about putting together a post on the recent online discussion of William Galston’s TNR review of the new Rawls book. You’ve just provided me with another reason to do so.
Of course first I gotta do my final OAH-related post. Luckily this is a history blog ;-)!
