jumping jesus christ on a pogo stick already. all you had to do was read the excerpt posted here as to what she thinks. why is that so freakin' hard? it isn't even difficult prose!
(I posted a link to a .pdf of an essay on "contigent foundations" that is hosted on cleandraws.com. you can read what she thinks there.)
not to be terribly rude, but i don't see *why* anyone should do the translation work when, honestly?, it really feels like people are engaged in _sympathetic critique_. True, Charles, you more than anyone here is moving toward sympathetic critique, but if you truly want to go where Dwayne is pointing, then it takes a lot more than, "will someone here read her work and tell me what she says in order for me to be bothered with criticizing here. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah."
grrrrrrrrrrrr.
OK. I feel better now. HA
