Addendum:
Just remembered that the original French
version of "What is Enlightenment?" was
first published in French in the "Inédits"
section of Magazine Littéraire (N.309,
April 1993) one year before the publication
of Dits et Ecrits. At the end of the text in
Magazine Littéraire there is even a picture of
Foucault's original typescript (in French) with
his hand written corrections on.
I guess this leaves no doubt that the text was
originally written in French.
