Just a lowly LLM student at KCL but he agreed to help me with my dissertation/any publications on a regular basis despite being retired and in the US (whether in person or via Zoom). I never ended up meeting with him as I’m just beginning writing and because I didn’t realize he was retired because KCL didn’t mention it on the website. After being ghosted by like 5 potential supervisors at KCL he was a really kind person.

Philosophical Disquisitions: Raz and the Argument from Authority (Part One)

 

 

 

Dear Colleagues and students,

 

With great sadness we report the passing of one of the last remaining giants of jurisprudence and philosophy, Joseph Raz, the Emeritus Professor of the Philosophy of Law at Oxford. Raz passed away in his sleep at the Charing Cross Hospital in London on the morning of 2 May 2022. Raz was a student of HLA Hart and was known for bringing not only philosophical rigour and insight into the philosophy of law but also for making decisive contributions to ethics, political theory, and the philosophy of practical reason. He trained countless students, many of whom work in philosophy and law faculties around the world. His importance as a figure in jurisprudence cannot be overstated. We will miss him.
