It's not that there is no "Truth" it's just there to serve power. Power
determines truth.

Foucault's views on truth are the regular subject of media controversy -
usually along the lines that he is a relativist, a nihilist, has no respect
for the truth etc. etc.
Has anybody seen any recent examples of this kind of discussion in the
popular intellectual press?
For an example see Raymond Tallis,
Review article Dec 21 2001, Times Literary Supplement 'Foucault, as every
schoolchild knows, denied that there were such things as objective truths'.
