I appreciate your thoughts, Craig. I'm familiar with your writing and have great respect for your erudition.

I acknowledged that I haven't read her book. I was critiquing his critique, which to my mind was dismissive in tone. I suspected her postmodernist perspective had something to do with that.

In the end everything that's going on politically, socially, and 'culturally' these days is all about one thing: justice. At stake is the survival of Liberal society: democracy and the rule of law with the primacy of liberty for all as its primary concern. The preservation of Liberal society via an advance in our understanding of justice is my only purpose.

I have spent almost forty years trying to get people to re-think justice. ["Real Justice" here in Medium] Of late I have been emphasizing the relation of the ethic of real justice (mutual respect) to a belief in equality. ["Equality Is All We Need;" "Re-thinking Individualism"" also in Medium] Applying mutual respect to the economy as a societal process, via a "democratically distributed income," would have astonishing results for society. ["For Crying Out Loud. ACCEPT That A SOLUTION Actually EXISTS" (a "3 min read"--including options for further reading--also here in Medium)]

If anyone knows of a better idea I sincerely want to be apprised of it. Anyone who wants to preserve Liberal society who does not know of a better idea needs to learn these ideas and promote them.

Given what's at stake, anything else is superfluous self-indulgence. I especially hope that you, Craig, will join the cause.
