Dr. Davis is one of the generation of philosophers that came of age during the decade that spanned the interval between the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 and the resignation of President Nixon in 1974. Between its dramatic endpoints, this period included the achievements of the civil rights movement and the travails of the Vietnam War. It was a time when questions of legal and political obligation possessed an intense practical urgency.
