And, eventually, at the back of that weariness and that reluctance, a suspicion that what those reactions to 'Foucault' had in universal was once a refusal to move 'toward the issues themselves' and hence a refusal to method the texts that we consult with by means of that right identify as we'd technique different phenomena: now not because the body-object of a proposal that we'd need to find as coming both 'before' or 'after' phenomenology, yet as a chain of statements that seem to us in a definite means and whose showing finds to us whatever approximately our personal, finite being.
