Unfortunately, I now have too many participants, given the number of chapters in the book, so I cannot accept any more requests. I'll be sending out an e-mail to everyone who has expressed an interest in the group with more information in the near future. Of course, even people who end up not being responsible for a particular chapter of the book are welcome to participate in the discussions.

People should contact Blain if they are interested in presenting, and then whatever allocation of chapters to people makes sense for the reading group as a whole will happen.

It should be out in a month or two, and promises to be an important work in an area of moral and political philosophy that has not received the attention it deserves.

(Probably for this book, we would need to move fairly quickly since there are 18 chapters, so maybe one chapter a week?) Then everyone else comments on the discussion. That's really it. One thing I would suggest though is that if we start in January, then people try to read the book in advance of that. It can get difficult reading a book at the same time as keeping up with the discussion of it. Generally what happens is that one person posts some discussion of a chapter.
