I recommend, if you haven't already done this, reading MacKinnon's <em>Only Words</em> alongside Butler's <em>Excitable Speech</em>; also worth checking out Martha Nussbaum's quite vitriolic attack on Butler in the TNR article <a href="http://www.akad.se/Nussbaum.pdf" rel="nofollow">The Professor of Parody</a>.

There's a website somewhere with a lot of liberation philosophy articles, including some of Dussel's but I can't find it right now. I don't know if <em>20 Theses</em> has been published in English yet; I only know what it's about because I heard Dussel give a talk about it at the Caribbean Philosophical Association last year.

Haven't read MacKinnon in a number of years and will have to go back to read her. Also, who is Enrique Dussell and where does one find the twenty theses? Thanks. Interesting post.
