I've read both of them. Again, influential does not = good. Legitimacy crisis is interesting but he backs himself into a wall with his whole discourse ethics/public sphere/communicative action thing. Assuming clearly bounded political communities and other forms of solipsism plague all political theories that have no theory of the international. And don't get me started on Rawls' figurative and ideal "Law of the Peoples" crap... how does that give us a politics or help us fight injustice in anyway? No wonder people don't take political theory seriously when this sort of crap dominates.

Also, not sure if you're MA or PhD, but UVic already sent out notifications for both a couple weeks ago.

Rawls IS garbage. And if you disagree, you definitely won't fair well at UVic. Popularity/notoriety do not translate directly into nuance or sophistication. Let me guess, you also enjoy Habermas...

I'm not sure it will make any difference whether or not we accept York's offer if you're an international student. Last year they funded 2 int'l students, sometimes it is more. If we decline our offers they will go to other domestic students.

Hey Zoeggrl, I also was nominated for the Elia scholarship and it was messy and last minute.

Toronto IS a lot more fun. Vancouver and Montreal are pretty great too; Vancouver because it's beautiful and Montreal because of the punk and metal scene. Ottawa is a great time, but pretty small and full of bureaucrats and other yuppie young professionals.
