For those of you who remember David Lyons, Professor Emeritus of Cornell Law School, you may like to know that he was honored with a conference on March 12-13 this year at Boston University, where he still teaches law and philosophy. The presentations can be read in “Rights, Equality, and Justice: A Conference Inspired by the Moral and Legal Theory of David Lyons,” 90 Boston University Law Review 1667 (2010).
“David B. Lyons is one of the most preeminent moral and legal philosophers of our time. He is a Law Alumni Scholar and Professor of Law and Philosophy at Boston University, where he has taught since 1995. Previously, he was a distinguished faculty member of Cornell University from 1964 to 1995. Not only has Professor Lyons published a number of significant books and journal articles in moral, political, and legal theory, he also puts his theories of justice and morality into practice. He has been involved with civil rights and anti-war activities since the 1940s and is currently involved with human rights organizations including the BU Faculty for a Humane Foreign Policy and the BU Inter-Faculty Human Rights Consortium.” ~~ from the Editor’s Foreword
