Arturo,

Have you read Against Epistemology?  If you have could you discuss it a
bit with me as I'm beginning this text and would be interested in the
input of people who have already read it (and understood it.

Also, have you read Negative Dialectics?  I'm a little more familiar with 
this one than Against Epistemology but would appreciate input on it as
well.

Best wishes
Matt
