Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-25 00:00:00 Keith Scott A curious mixture of Marxism, Wittgensteinian thinking, Freudianism, and especially Foucauldian influence, combined into a sociological treatise on the conceptual relationship between social relations and (ideas about) human nature and physiology. It contains in it early germs of gene-culture coevolution and reflections on rationality as embedded in practices, but it is written in a strangely roundabout way, seemingly trying to imply an argument more than actually stating it. It also spends a lot of time re-doing Freudian and Foucauldian stuff that I am not very interested in.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-29 00:00:00 Farah Scrof If you are writing a thesis, I highly recommend reading this book. Matt Allen breaks down the logic of argument in text and provides a framework to assist people to identify arguments in other people's work and create their own arguments. This is one of the top recommendations I can make to PhD students - wish I'd read it and re-read it sooner!
