Bullshit[edit]

This article does not address criticisms of Foucault, even the mild "hysterics" of Discipline and Punish (Geertz) to the usual judgment of analytic philosophers, "This is bullshit". Kiefer.Wolfowitz 14:55, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to add a section criticizing this theory. I did not see relevant material in my research, but I just skimmed the surface, enough to get a beyond-stub definition entry. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 17:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Piotrus, Piotrus, Piotrus!

Well, I don't nag friends about smoking ..., so I should have looked to see you as the initial author, and then I should have chosen my words ... even more diplomatically.

Well, I have read my share of Foucault, when I was young and subject to the discipline and punishment of anthropology and sociology and philosophy professors! ;)

Heh, discipline and punishment, very fitting :D I am not the biggest fan of F. on the bloc, but I was reading a paper using this theory, the theory was missing from Wikipedia and seems quite notable, so... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 18:56, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
