I have been working on and thinking about Michael Walzer’s political thought for a long time – he was the subject of my PhD thesis, which I finished in 2011. More than a decade earlier, my undergraduate honors thesis used his notion of a dirty-hands dilemma to examine the war-crimes tribunal of Adolf Eichmann. In that time, I’ve acquired a lot of intellectual debts, to teachers, mentors, friends, and family.
