He was also the examiner of my MPhil thesis. Without a doubt, Cohen was one of the sharpest, and funniest, persons I've ever met. It's been many years since I last saw him in person. Nonetheless, he had an enormous influence on my philosophical development (even though I disagreed with most of his views). I wish I had expressed my gratitude when I had a chance. However, I doubt that he would've remembered me. I had the pleasure of taking two seminars with Cohen while at Oxford. He was also the examiner of my MPhil thesis.

Thanks for putting this up Matt. Crooked Timber had a reading group on RJ&E a little while ago, but I didn't follow it because I haven't got to reading the book yet. It may be an idea if anyone wants to get it going. A huge loss. Thanks for putting this up Matt.

Cohen was one of the best, most intellectually honest and careful political philosophers out there. I wonder if it wouldn't be worthwhile to run a reading group here on the new book in his honor, if anyone is interested. This is really sad for political philosophers of any persuasion.
