Dear Foucault-philes,
I would be very grateful for some help with a query I have. I am very
interested in tracing the reception of Foucault as a 'dangerous
conservative-irrationalist', along much the same lines as the German
Conservative Revolutionaries of the 1920s and 1930s. I am already aware of
the debate generated by Habermas' Der Philosophische Diskurs der Moderne
(The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity) amd Manfred Frank's dismissal of
modern French thought as reactionary: is anyone aware of any other
contributions to this debate?
Also, I would be very interested to hear your reactions to the idea that
Foucault can be compared with the likes of Spengler, Klages, Baeumler et
al. I know Foucault raised a wry smile at this suggestion. Do you have the
same reaction?
Thank you for your help.
