Hey Noam!

I haven't read the book yet, and I would wait with my own opinion until I do. There is one thing I *can* say, though, and that is that comparing phenomena from various fields is an acceptable method in discourse sociology and Foucault's works are the best example of it. If one is an expert in "culture" or "discourse", one analyzes social phenomena through that lense and does not differentiate between disciplines. Discourse and culture are trans-disciplinarian fields, so I don't see, apriori, what would be wrong with writing a book which deals extensively with many fields (I can see how someone coming from the exact sciences, or other more conceptually conservative field, would not enjoy it). Having read Almog's previous book and enjoyed it immensely, I have high expectations from him, and hope this book will not disappoint.
