you know its purty funny this showed up here. I mean the entire Megill
discussion began from a breif comment made about "Prophets of Extremity" in
which Megill traces the role of the aesthetic through Neitszche to Derrida
via Heiddegger and Michel Foucault. so to speak Foucault's work IS art and
works in a manner similar, if not it actually is, art according to Megill.
I agree with Ransom's reply btw.
anyway this has been a fairly long disussion...over 100k in length. 1/10 a meg.
thanx
