I was both saddened and stunned this morning to read of the passing of Charles Mills. I first met him at a SPEP years ago; I was having lunch at some random sandwich shop with friends. He knew one of us, and asked if he could join. Nevermind that we were all junior. I managed to find him at a few later conferences, to join a meal or even just to say hi. He was generous, warm and wickedly funny when he wanted to be. And the stunning clarity with which he could call out ideal philosophy and other systems of domination is like nothing else I’ve read.
