The narrative in which the author uses the works and theories of others to illuminate his own theories and prescriptions will also represent an alternative to the standard adversarial argument that characterises so much of academic discourse. There are no absolutist pronouncements, nor devastating refutations, but rather a careful kind of unwrapping of the most important elements of the sources that inform this work.
