What does Foucault mean by Cartesian po�le

["Lionel Boxer" <lboxer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

In this passage:

Foucault (Power/Knowledge, p. 51) later suggests, '... those who govern are 
blind; only those who keep their distance from power, who are in no way 
implicated in tyranny, shut up in their Cartesian poêle ...

What does Foucault mean by Cartesian poêle??

Thanks

Lionel
