Re: Biomedical discoursive and non-discoursive practices around

Stuart,
you're right - so far, I can follow your argument:
spaces of knowledge, micro- and macrophysics of knowledge ...
This is also my point of view.
Sure, Heidegger appears in my graphic (but don't take this graphic
to serious): on the left at the bottom - together with Merleau-Ponty
he represents there the movement of existentialism against
phenomenology in the field of the hermeneutics.
