The second monthly seminar under the auspices of the Cambridge Forum for Legal & Political Philosophy during the 2011-12 academic year will take place on Thursday, November 17th, at 3:00pm, in Room G26 of the Law Faculty Building. The seminar will be chaired by Norman Geras, who is Professor Emeritus of Political Philosophy at the University of Manchester (and who became a resident of Cambridge last year). Norm will be concentrating on some arguments in Jerry Cohen's book "Why Not Socialism?" For the reading for the seminar, he has chosen two pleasingly short excerpts from that book:
