R.I.P Charles Mills (1951-2021)

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Charles Mills, who has made many significant contributions to debates in political philosophy, especially on ideal theory/non-ideal theory and race.  

Sadly I never had the opportunity to meet Charles Mills or have any correspondence with him.  But I always considered him a "non-ideal" comrade-in-arms, making the case for the discipline to take more seriously the realities of the real (vs imagined) world.  Mills's impact on debates in the profession will no doubt continue to be felt for a very long time.  

Cheers,
