More Kudos for a Brilliant Man

Robert P. George extolls the many fine qualities of Professor John M. Dolan.

His arguments were marked by careful attention to scientific facts and strict logical rigor. He was a master dialectician, but he argued for truth, never merely for victory. He treated opponents with civility and respect, regarding them as collaborators in the quest for richer understanding.

As you can probably tell from the article, John and I assuredly did not agree on all topics.  Nevertheless, discussion of any subject under the sun with John was destined to enlighten me.

I miss my mentor and friend so.
