ISBN: 0-271-02026-1. \n\nWilliam Dean  \nIliff School of Theology\n\n  \n\nAfter 300 years, that great majority of philosophers who have regularly dismantled traditions of wisdom now seem like a rather predictable group. By those standards, today's true philosophical radicals are those who risk their reputations by affirming these traditions. Even so, it is still implicitly believed that good philosophers judiciously destroy, leaving judiciously, construction to the bad ones. Thus, for example, when Richard Rorty wrote _Achieving Our Country_ to endorse just one of America's traditions (the liberal political tradition) . . . well, this was slightly embarrassing.\n\n  \n\n> \n\n  *\n\n ' 2001 William Dean.
