bernard williams was such a bizarre little goober

like he usually has something somewhat valuable (and novel for the time even ?) that can be wrenched from his work but god its such a slog and there's so much nonsense to clear out of the way

lolllll i do love that scholarship on williams is like: "the BLD requires addressing the FPQ in a way that attends to the CTP, and this demonstrates that politics is a CNP"
