Re[2]:Althusser, Foucault and Historical Ontology

Read "Remarx on Marx," and several other interviews from the late 70's in which
Foucault claims that it was Althusser who first made the analysis of 'the
subject' important for him. Also, read the essays in For MArx, especially
"Marxism and Humanism," where Althusser announces Marx's "break" with the
humanist-Hegelian model. Or, simply remember that Nietzsche, if he has a
political position, is an avid individualist; and Heidegger, if he is anything,
is a closet fascist. Do anything from Foucault's works from teh late 60s and
early 70s attempt to bring about a higher type of man? or do they voice
concerns about the manne in which our society, mainly through discursive
practices (and institutions) produces types of individuals?
