His main focus was the intersubjectivity which is the main focus of F (the relationship of two or more people, and since he mainly about subject and other, the valuation of Fi seems obvious). Some of his ideas seems interesting, but the sole focus on the discourse (the domain of judgement) and his (from my point of view) ignorance of non-discursive domain (basic reality of sensation or even intuition) bother me a little bit. I guess he just really want that master signifier (Te - in his unconscious) and idealize it into oblivion.
