Walter,
"It" is CT, the application of the analytic/synthetic tools of
reason as the principle form of knowledge/truth. The asssignment was for
course readings whereby to elucidate it phil-wise,...and with the  sensible
requirement for some sex-appeal.  I'm not in ed, but don't find
self-evident your cart-before-horse (abstraction-before-concretion) is the
superior configuration,...nor likely to arouse.  Foucault's pt is the the
contingent one of the ascendancy of a histroically constructed concrete
discourse, CT , ...that the industry began with Luther (clearly  modern lit
crit is mere secularization of scripture
philology/hermeneutics) and has been bludgeoning ever since.

thanks,
bob
