IHe was at Princeton when I was teaching there but I can't be sure I taught him. His rise to fame and power, however, set me to thinking about teaching more generally. Here's a unrevised text of a lecture I gave at Wellesley in 2006 - more relevant today than then, maybe?

Bob, I recently read two pieces from different fields and eras that have helped me in thinking about my fellow Princeton alum. One is Dan. M. Kahan's "Neutral Principles, Motivated Cognition, and Some Problems for Constitutional Law," 125 Harv. L. Rev. 1 (Nov 15 2011), which is available on HLR's website for download. The other is Hannah Arendt, "Thinking and Moral Considerations: A Lecture," from 1971, but reprinted in Social Research 51 (1984) 7-37. I wonder how much actual thinking Justice Alito is doing these days. I mean, of the Socratean sort. My hunch is not much. He has the answers, after all.
