Parfit, R.I.P.
The big name Derek Parfit died on January 2.
His New York Times obituary – not particularly interesting – is here.
His 2011 New Yorker profile – by Larissa MacFarquhar, whose other journalism I have praised – is here.
This profile is well worth reading. It’s outstanding. I used to have a PDF of it, which, now, I cannot find … which vexes me.
