This is why I said "seriously" at the end of my post. I've frankly never met
a reader of Foucault who wasn't basically a liberal ironist, where liberal
is defined as someone who tries to eradicate cruelty and ironist is defined
as someone who recognizes the contingency and groundlessness of her values.
I imagine nearly all of you will find this label to be rank and offensive...
