A pretty unfair reading of Foucault, I must say - though I doubtI tried to read one of his books on art once, but I fell asleep while reading the 3th page. Why bother! Sruton is not the only one. Canada's most popular catholic establishment philosopher Charles Taylor called him a kind of devil in his 'Malaise of modernity'. It would have been worse if these guys would have praised Foucault and welcome him into their camp.
Scruton has ever really read him. Have never heard Les mots et les
choses referred to as the bible of 68 before - anyone care to comment
on that?
I notice that the title is completely inaccurate since it doesn't
explain why Scruton became a conservative, but simply details what it
was like for him as a conservative in the irrationalist leftist
milieux of France and Britain.
