"Balkin takes the hot button words of current intellectual debate -- culture, ideology, transcendence, pragmatism, historicism -- and manages the considerable feat of making them usable again. He avoids final judgment while at the same time redeeming the vocabulary of final judgment so that it is once again available to those who have learned the lessons of various postmodernisms. An impressive and truly helpful book". -- Stanley Fish, Duke UniversityJ. M. Balkin is the author of 'Cultural Software: A Theory of Ideology', published 2003 under ISBN 9780300084504 and ISBN 0300084501.
