insanely niche complaint but i don’t like when people speak as if Williams and Geuss are doing the same thing. G is obviously acquainted with W and was excited by his work at one point, but in terms of method and content they could not diverge more greatly.
you people act like you’ve never read Janosch Prinz’ Radicalizing Realism in Political Theory before smh
tho that’s not even necessary lol, just like read the respective works hello?
imo Williams:Realism should be regarded as Pierce:Pragmatism. of historical importance for inertia, but the attribution is mostly a kind-hearted favor to a stunted version of the theory
issue being that there seem to be an irritating amount of Williams-style (or Williams-reverent) realists so it seems like that’s not gonna catch on
