What else can really be said?
On December 15, 2011, at the Age of 62, Hitchens lost his
battle with oesophageal cancer. His contribution to academia and philosophy
cannot be expressed enough. He was an inspiration to me as well as to many others;
his writings will forever be immortalized as monuments to a great mind for as
long as mankind is willing to think. The world has lost a truly valuable human being
who will neither be equalled nor replaced. Thank you Mr. Hitchens, you will be
missed.
Rest in Peace
