my Professor who is, for the most part as far as I can tell, of a feather with Longino (we had assigned reading from Longino, for example).

I don't deny that your prof holds similar views, but in general this isn't an accurate indicator. Some things are just stuff everybody has to assign or they're accused of not covering the material, and I've also had teachers assign things specifically to complain about how awful they were in the next class.
