Does anyone have any information on where the author gets his claim that Cohen has a "road to Damascus moment" upon arriving at Harvard? I can't find anything on that, or even anyone else claiming Cohen was a "liberal".

This article is very light on supporting quotes or references, so im very suspect of his claims that analytical Marxist converted to beliefs that are opposed to Marxist analysis. Especially given many of Cohen's later works are focused on scientific socialism.

The author does not claim that Cohen has a "road to Damascus moment" when he arrives at Harvard. Instead, this is the claim:

"This created something of a “road to Damascus” moment for Cohen. It forced him to ask the basic question: what is it that I dislike most about capitalism?"

That is, Cohen needed to take a moment and then ask himself deeper questions about his starting assumptions. That is the claim.
