About Roderick T. Long
The Empirical Me
I’m Roderick T. Long, Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University. I’m an Aristotelean/Wittgensteinian in philosophy and a left-libertarian market anarchist in social theory. (More about me here.) This blog, Austro-Athenian Empire, is a continuation of my earlier blog, archived here.
This is probably heavily football related I bet. Wasn’t he the guy that sort of forced Auburn to scrap its econ dept.?

Sorry, left out “its.”
He forced AU to scrap its economics Ph.D. program. That’s one sin out of dozens, though.
