My Take
Charles Beitz belongs to a category of thinker I quietly revere: the person who insists, with rigor, on ideals that offer no personal payoff. As a Princeton theorist who helped build the field of global justice, he argues that fairness should not stop at national borders, an unfashionable claim in an age of self-interest. The Guggenheim and the Academy fellowship are impressive, but they are not what wins me over. What I admire is the stubborn intellectual labor of making a far-reaching ideal stand up to scrutiny. Scholars who quietly redraw the moral map of the world deserve far more attention than they get.
