This article presents the author's response to Jim McKenzie's commentary on her article, "Closing the Split between Practical and Theoretical Reasoning: Knowers and the known." In her response, the author wishes to point readers to the book that the article is derived from, for the original article clearly points readers to the preface and chapters 1, 2, and 7 of "Transforming Critical Thinking: Thinking constructively". If the reader goes to "Transforming Critical Thinking", s/he will find many references to feminist philosophers, for the text is a feminist argument for the need to transform critical thinking, and the author offers a redescription of critical thinking as constructive thinking.
