Pocock Reader wonders at the why of Robin’s paragraph long attack on Pocock!
Nov 13, 2025
I’ve read the first two volumes of J.G.A. Pocock’s Barbarism and Religion, and his The Machiavellian Moment: Florentine Political Thought and the Atlantic Republican Tradition : call Mr. Robin’s attack on one of the most important writers/thinkers, who deserves a writer/thinker/ that could match Pocock’s mastery! Mr. Robin offers in his wan paragraph, puerile chatter.
Corey Robin’s qualifications are impressive: ‘from a Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. His academic qualifications include a Ph.D. from Yale University and an A.B. from Princeton University’ Yet Robin offers something unbecoming in a highly qualified Academic! Perhaps this chatter is prelude to a Magnum opus!
Pocock Reader.
