[Foucault-L] The Order of Things - relevance for today

Nathaniel,

Could you please double cheque on this reference, and let us know:
Oh, one more thing, are people aware that Foucault revisits and
revises (or rather, re-situates) his Order of Things argument about
"man" in one of the lectures in his 1977-8 course, published under the
title Security, Territory, Population? Check it out.

If you mean a 5-page essay, I haven't located any ref to Man.

Thanks,

Ruth

"After Nietzsche's devastating criticism of those 'last men' who 'invented happiness,' I may leave aside altogether the naïve optimism in which science -that is, the technique of mastering life which rests upon science- has been celebrated as the way to happiness. Who believes in this? -aside from a few big children in university chairs or editorial offices." -Max Weber
