By the way, Amazon is selling Kateb's book for 7 dollars right now for some reason. A very good bargain, and really readable, accessable, engaging political theory. Of course, I meant that to be directed at James, not Will.

Sailor-esque silliness exemplifies Kateb's objection, rather than refuting his point.
