This paper is a response to Jensen-Butler's critique of our papers on planning practice. The critique asserts that our papers are predicated on an idealist cpistemology and that they lead to largely politically conservative conclusions. In this paper, we argue that this supposed critique of idealism: (a) cannot be sustained; (b) assumes its own idealist proportions; (c) evades practical issues; and (d) results not in a critique of idealism and conservatism, but, wittingly or unwittingly, in a denunciation of the democratic, antitechnocratic, antiauthoritarian, and non-avant-gardist political principles which emanate from our papers
