Much as I probably disagree with John on many matters (who wants uniformity
of opinions anyway), I agree 100% with his refutation of the claim that
questions of truth have nothing to do with Foucault. You do not solve a
problem simply be redescribing it (which is, of course a critique of all
discursive idealisms, a position which some members of the Foucault industry
are prone to assert Foucault held).
