Princeton

New Jersey · Günümüzde United States

New Jersey'de sakin bir üniversite kasabası. John Rawls, Thomas Kuhn ve Peter Singer burada çalıştı. Adaletin ne gerektirdiği sorusu, onlarca yıl boyunca seminer masalarında tartışıldı.

Princeton is a small, wealthy university town in central New Jersey, insulated from the pressures of the city while connected to them, and this has made it an unusual kind of thinking space. John Rawls spent decades refining A Theory of Justice at Princeton and then Harvard, and the questions he asked drew others: Kuhn was here at the Institute for Advanced Study, Singer holds a chair here in bioethics. The town has an orderly, somewhat unreal quality — manicured and purposeful — that may or may not have something to do with the philosophical temperament it tends to attract: rigorous, systematic, and at some distance from the disorder it theorizes.
