...Harvard has a great tradition of a very great eminence in this field," Goldfarb says, referring to Rawls, Professor of Philosophy Robert Nozick, and Roderick Firth, Alford Professor of Natural Religion, Moral Philosophy and Civil Polity," However, these gentlemen, with the exception of Mr. Nozick, are not getting any younger," Goldfarb adds.
