John McCumber asserts that the true target of philosophical liberation isto break the structures of domination that have been encoded in westerncivilization. Because of the emancipatory nature of their thought, Derrida, Foucault, Habermas, and Rorty challenge domination, but they do not see theirchallenge clearly and it does not rise to the level of conscious critique in theirwritings. Using Nietzsche's writings on "the great liberation" as a starting point, McCumber captures the valuable, but elusive insights of these thinkers and placesthem in the larger, pluralistic movement toward philosophical freedom.
