I want to thank Professor Aeon Skoble for joining us for a guest stint here at Pileus. It was a pleasure to read his contributions, and I trust our readers appreciated his thoughtful posts.
I’d also like to plug Aeon’s recent piece at the Freeman laying out his three deserted island books. Here they are:
John Tomasi – Free Market Fairness
Thucydides – History of the Peloponnesian War
Martha Nussbaum – Creating Capabilities: The Human Development Approach
I would have never guessed he would pick these three. Interesting. I really ought to read his book Deleting the State: An Argument About Government.
Thanks for the kind words, I enjoyed my time contributing. Thanks again for having me. Thanks also for the plug – just to clarify, the prompt for the Freeman column stipulated that one of the books must be new and one must challenge my worldview, and I self-imposed a restriction to politics/justice. If I were really headed to the proverbial island, you’d find the complete works of Shakespeare and the complete works of Aristotle. And yes, please check out DtS!
