Do you really think that they need much reconciliation?  As one who 
has spent quite a lot of time on Wittgenstein (more on the early then 
the late, though), and not as much as I'd like on Foucault et al, 
they seem to be saying much the same thing, although in a different 
way.  When I read the so-called pomo thinkers, I cannot help but 
think that what they are doing (especially Buttler) is taking the 
type of thinking that Wittgenstein would did to its logical 
conclusions, applying it as it were.  What do you think?
