Very varied and engaging speaker. Sometimes gets excited and reminds me of a dog chewing on bacon and bits. Charismatic, charming, beyond a doubt, you will not fall asleep.

Comment:

He seems to be more interested in enlisting potential disciples than in teaching. Students were sucking butt, & Conant was soaking it all up. Quite a poor learning experience. Conant is a third rate as a Univ Chicago philosophy prof. Why did they hire this guy? Definitely not "hot."

Comment:

very good. and very, very nice person. didn't like the quasi-socratic style of the lectures that much, but that's my own deal.
