A brief biography of Peters is included, as well as an extensive and detailed analysis of both theories.
Criticisms of the two theories will be evident across the document where other notable writers and philosophers will interpret and lash out at both theories, and either make assumptions of their own to tweak those theories or completely disharmonize the theories.
