That quote is from _Discipline and Punish_ (Vintage 1979) page 31.
>I wonder if someone could help me out of this pickle. i have lost the

>was from _Genealogy_, but i have re-read the darn thing 3 times and still
>can't find the passage. The passage is where Foucault is writing about

>means by that writing a history of the past in terms of the present."
>Instead he argues that history has meaning only "if one means writing the
>history of the present."
>I'll be very grateful for help with this.
>Thanks:-)
