The Taming of Chance didn't actually seem to have much on Foucault per
say so much as a Foucaultianesque analysis of socio-political
statistics in the vein of Les Mots and the later governmentality
lectures years before they were actually released in French and
English. Rewriting the Soul, however, discusses Foucault and biopower
more explicitly, proposing to complement his two-pronged model of
anato-power and biopower with a model of "memoro-politics" or
"memoro-power" if you will. I suppose you'll find the gist of his
argument from that paper in there.
