I recommend reading Foucault first hand rather than this. Discipline and Punish is more true now!
I recommend it too! Here's a good intro so you can follow him. http://server2.docfoc.us/uploads/Z2015/11/28/5K7Dmgatwg/c9a9eed664c940c05378d8c0bf3b3208.pdf …

Foucault's description of the modern "therapeutic state," the "panopticon,"describes current state spot-on
-
OK. Its more his relativism, anti-individualism and concepts of power-knowledge I'm concerned about.
-
Foucault was libertarian. Saying he "ruined the West??" Pomo just a tool for understanding, take r lv it
-
I'm concerned about the number of ppl who've taken it & what its doing to science, truth & liberalism.
-
seems to me you are lumping a lot of things together. Foucault would call it a "polemic" ie tendentious.
-
Yes, I'm pulling out some consistencies which have gained cultural importance. Disastrously.
