Actually its not mystical at all but fairly traditional. Provided that
tradition is understood as an implicaiton of inter-textuality. Its not
even necessary to go so far as to try and formulate a geneological
relatationwhip that would in some way situate Foucualt within a set of
specific discursive practices because what we have here is a matter of
straight intellectual history. But then again, perhaps Lithoi is not
such a pedant as has been supposed.
Such musings, I suppose, will have to be left for another time. For the
moment lets try another riddle: the will to power is not a willing _for_
power.
