List-wise, I meant it in very general terms; In the work I've read, I don't
find that Foucault convinces the reader of his view with argument and
example. Rather he states his view, and tosses in a smattering of
instances. In this way I find his writing style rather like Nietzsche. What
he says is intriguing, but I'm not always sure I've understood it correctly.
Personally, my interest is in technologies of the self. But perhaps I feel
comfortable with it precisely because he did use examples when discussing
it.
