The Bleak Genius of Michel Foucault

Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Michel Foucault. Four decades since complications from AIDS brought his career to a premature end, the French philosopher—a role he both embraced and pushed away—continues to top rankings of the most-cited scholars in the humanities.

You're right, the Anglophone approach does tend to be very logic-centered; so-called Analytic #Philosophy

The #frenchphilosophy approach tends to be more interpretive and concerned with social and cultural phenomena

And then there's #Germanphilosophy which tries to do both and get the best of both worlds, and which usually ends up with the worst of both worlds (imho!)

And of course this is very generalizing and there are many exceptions and caveats

It feels like modern philosophy focuses on #rationality, as primary approacch to #epistemology, approach to knowing, is that reasonable?

Or is this a USA/Anglophone approach and so-called #continentalphilosophy is different?

I do notice #Frenchphilosophy seem written in much more poetic ways than anglophone #academicphilosophy.

#amreading The Society of the Spectacle by Guy deBord, The City We Became by #NKJemisin and an advance copy of a nifty SF thingy by someone I met here on #Mastodon that's really intriguing, and I will sing its praises less obliquely when the time comes.
