...fort against rabid Continetal philosphers clutching copies of Sartre, Foucault, Kuhn and Rorty? If so, these intellectual roues deserve much adulation. Actually, Peninsula seems much more interested in debates about homosexuality than abstract issues in epistimology. But, it is in the best tradition of the public intellectual to lend one's mind to social debates of import, so let's see what they...

When he does assume another voice, as in one monologue imitating a conversation which he overheard at a restaurant, he is equally at ease, building from ordinary chitchat to frantically dramatic pronouncements with subtlety...
