Continuing my struggle with book 6 of #books2026 Scanlon's What We Owe to Each Other. The analogies that have emerged so far for his contractualist argument are "porridge" and "fudge". It all starts to go wrong when he begins to discuss friendship

Book 11, 38 Londres Street was simply gripping. I read it in one sitting. On universal jurisdiction, impunity, immunity and the continuities of killing, torture, and lies #books2026

#books2026 got to p143 of What We Owe To Each Other, painfully slow progress. Started 38 Londres Street by Philippe Sands as a faster read since I'm teaching lots of human rights. Bookmark is a postcard of Bottle and Newspaper, Picasso (1913)

#books2026 hard going to get through 77 pages of Book 5 What We Owe to Each Other and one essay in Book 10 Morality and Responsibility by Scanlon, but hugely relevant to our interests and deeply enjoyable to discuss in depth with serious and good friends
