Norman Geras conference

by Chris Bertram on March 14, 2004

I’m just back from a trip which included a visit to Manchester for a conference to honour the academic career of Norman Geras . Chris Brooke of The Virtual Stoa asks how it went. Very well indeed, I think. I gave a paper in the morning on the relationship between Marx and Rousseau, Ian Kershaw gave a most interesting paper on the singularity of the Holocaust, Shane O’Neill spoke about Richard Rorty and Simon Caney about the concept of a crime against humanity. The discussion was all very friendly and civilised and I got the impression that Norm enjoyed the event (though he hasn’t blogged about it yet). Anyway, thanks to Norm and Hillel and the other folks in Manchester for inviting me: it was an honour and a pleasure.
