Content

The Year is 1963 and our Versus Series continues with Fight Night Round 2, in which a young challenger, Jacques 'Derridevil' Derrida, comes at Dr. Archaeology himself, Michel Foucault, accusing him of committing the cardinal cosmological sin: METAPHYSICS.

After a sound pounding through the first few pages, Derridevil lands a crippling blow, that Foucault's reading of Descartes was "naive," enough for Foucault to freeze him out for the next 20 years.

Tune in next week for Foucault's long-awaited defense from 15 years later...

If you liked the topic of Derrida vs Foucault, in Age of Disruption, Stiegler revisits them and their discussions of madness.

Poor Foucault. I'll admit that I'm glad I read him as much as I did, and I did get something out of his works, but... Every debate he participated in was rough and didn't really lend him the best image.

I love the heat in this one! Go on Pills for defending Daddy Deconstruction!

Enjoyed the hell out of this. Unparalleled content. Incredibly lucid descriptions of deconstruction. Appreciated the connections to Spivak, Butler, subsequent limitations/criticisms, Foucault's later shifts, and questions of praxis. Was thinking of the "molar" just when Eric shouted that out haha. The capitulation to the terms of discourse by simply talking, being sucked into the idealist realm by again "talking" about materialism and praxis in specific historical terms, limits of challenging power from inside power; these are questions that have been lately on the mind again. So this was a timely listen. Thank you.

Thought this was going to become a Pills vs Matt episode at some point xD This was difficult but brilliant and extremely interesting. Please pass on my thanks to Erik for that amazing explanation of Derrida's intervention, it was really helpful. It's funny how at some point you described Foucault as straight forward or easy to understand, when Discipline and Punish is one of the hardest books I've ever read (although as someone without any philosophy degree of any kind is to be expected I guess).
