      I’ve never got why Foucault is considered so controversial. His schtick is “institutions you might have thought benign came about for disreputable reasons”, examples being prisons, psychiatric hospitals, liberal sexual norms.

      I’m surprised this is viewed as either groundbreaking (by fans) or absurd (by opponents), rather than standard scholarly stuff. His method of argument also seems like standard history, albeit with lots of irritating Long Theory Words that french people apparently are super into.

      Also while I’m here, hot take I use to troll but also actually believe: Foucault is a libertarian.

      Just read now! Interesting, agree that play is gone and that’s a noteworthy turn, laughed to think of myself as the new old left. I think you’re way off on the role and influence of feminist #philosophy of science though...

      “Values and identity, allowed to “play around” on the field of otherwise objective research, become the only game in town” not recognisable as a description of the field, Longino’s under-determination argument isn’t as you described, & original values-folk not especially feminist

          One thing I do agree with pretty hard and has been the subject of much discussion between me and some friends lately is that the model of interdisciplinary study wherein people aren’t first grounded in some method has proven very much unfruitful.

          This thread has me thinking about this issue more, sorry for spamming you! I take Longino to have four main points: (1) empiricism, the proper evaluative metric in science is whether we are doing well in predicting the outcome of experiments and interventions...
