More Lessig, on academic life. The deeper I get into these wars to free culture, the more I come to wonder about what life back in the academy, only, will be like. I got a great taste of that yesterday, at a seminar at NYU run by Professors Ronald Dworkin and Thomas Nagel. These guys are the rockstars of the legal academy (though Nagel is a philosopher first), and this seminar is among the most serious, and most carefully prepared, that I have ever seen. I presented a few chapters from a new book, Free Culture, and was relieved to see I could still take about these issues in a purely academic way. Peter Leigh Northup blogged the event. (Thanks, Peter.) [Lessig Blog] 8:52:26 AM    comment []
