After reading Judith Butler for a class in college, reading "Professor of Parody" was such a breath of fresh air. Nussbaum is a clear thinker who doesn't take BS kindly.

Really good article. There is a whole cast of philosophical characters that have been supported because they provide a non-materialist subversive, yet directionless, politics that go no-where, great for capitalism. Some of them were even directly supported by the CIA. This is in part why politics is so empty today, the post-modernists won and call you names for wanting peace, real life choices, control over your work life, health care, etc while also not actually advancing the cause of equality among the different divisions of the working class beyond spoken words.
