>It does seem like he leads a lot of social theory astray;
Now we might be getting down to brass tacks. What do you mean by astray?
^^^^ CB: Away from the socialist social theory.
^^^^^
>>and maybe that he's having fun messing with people's minds.
So people who think he has something to offer don't know the error of their ways and need to led back to..... where?
^^^ CB: I didn't characterize Foucault followers that way. Doesn't Foucault criticize lots of other social theorists ? Is he trying to lead them back to...where ?
I can criticize Foucault just like Foucault can criticize somebody else. When I do so, I am no more "acting superior" to Foucault or his "followers" than you are acting superior to those you criticize. That's the game here. Argument. I'm arguing with Foucault and proponents of Foucault ideas. It's social theorist vs social theorist.
Why don't you take the time to write down a complete list of Foucault's main ideas for discussion.
