Zusatztext I have been perhaps a little too scant in my acknowledgement of the achievement of Widder's book. I don't mean to suggest that this is only a student handbook (though it can be profitably so used); besides specific passages -- particularly its treatment of Hegel! Lacan! and Foucault -- from which specialists can benefit! the drive to construct a narrative that is both readable and appropriately detailed is praiseworthy and certainly enough to hold the specialist's attention throughout.
