I'm hesitant to comment more about the book, but will note that I thought some claims made in the discussion - which may or may not be claims made in a strong sense by Forrester - that "radical" views were "excluded" from elite philosophy (and poli sci and law) departments in recent memory, is transparently false. I hope she doesn't actually make _that_ claim, because there are interesting and arguably true ones that could be made, while that one is just obviously wrong.
