FWIW I agree with...Oh! He was a tenured prof!! <br />:)<br /><br />FWIW I agree with your judgment.<br />When I was a grad student a female in the class moved in with the (older) head of grad studies for the department. Her marks in the course he taught were stratospheric. Some of us were ticked. I don't think tenure should protect one in this situation; I'd fire him.Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976919713907046171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-78243771963280285392013-01-03T16:59:59.824-05:002013-01-03T16:59:59.824-05:00Oh, I still value Oakeshott's writings.

But this is much worse than Woody's maneuver: Oakeshott did this again and again and again, and often with his own undergraduate students.gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-85051932936443511222013-01-03T12:22:56.420-05:002013-01-03T12:22:56.420-05:00I still laugh at the old Woody Allen movies.I still laugh at the old Woody Allen movies.Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976919713907046171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-34298940053769712412013-01-02T19:08:53.213-05:002013-01-02T19:08:53.213-05:00I hate to bring up Rothbard here (well, not really...I hate to bring up Rothbard here (well, not really), but I think you've displayed Oakeshott's "one deviation". Even if he had more than a few, it is the substance of his work that counts and upon which should be transcendent to human thinking. One should not *count* the good from the bad, instead they should differentiate them completely, and only then judge the merits and the cases of inextricability. At least, that is what I think is the proper method of approaching things. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
