Of Course, an Actual Political Scientist Could Respond to Linda Hirshman
For everyone who was looking forward to the once-imminent Zeitlin-Hirshman throwdown on virtue ethics, Rawls and the best philosophical groundings for the American left, it appears that someone who actually has some qualifications has thoroughly rebutted - err “substantively answered” her thesis. Now, Hirshman could still respond to my objections, but I think it’s much more likely she’ll respond to her fellow Open Uer Jacob T. Levy. And you all should Levy’s post as well – it’s not like I made many similar points or anything. But bitterness is one of the least becoming traits, isn’t it?
Perhaps being an “unrepentant blog whore” didn’t turn out so well after all.
Don’t give up, Matt. You whored yourself into this mess, and dadgummit, you’re gonna whore you’re way out of it.

and she could seriously rebut him with, among other things, Rawls’ own words on the responsibility of philosophy to politics. http://www.tnr.com/blog/openuniversity
