However, it would certainly be correct to point out that Foucault is very
concerned with the ethical, political, even existential entanglements of
utterances claiming truth, and analytic philosophy doesn't much care about
this. But to do a really good comparison, we'd have to start looking at
analytic and Foucauldian ethical theory, which is whole 'nother game.
There have been many comments about Foucault being influenced by Heidegger. Now we know that Heidegger discarded both correspondence and coherence theory and forwarded his phenomenological theory of unconcealedness. My guess is that this tells us more about Foucault's ideas than modernist utilitarian ethics.
