"One of the primary proposals of Samuel Weber's important new book is taht we must look at what institutions exclude and delimit as well as what they include and enable."--Critical Texts
"A text of major importance and remarkable originality. For the frist time, the antecedents and the complexities of the question are clearly defined and understood."--Paul de Man, 1983
