Off to Florence

I'm off to Florence and the European University Institute for a conference on the virtues and the passions. I'll be giving a paper with my colleague on Disinterestedness as virtue in the thought of the quietist Archbishop Francois Fenelon, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and the British radical William Godwin. All of the papers look very interesting, and I think this is going to be a very important conference for my work. There are some well known names there, and some rising stars. This should be a very interesting experience.

Once more into the breach,

Ben
