The "paradox" of knowledge and power: Reading Foucault on a bias

Political Theory 15 (1):5-37 (1987)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

What if thought freed itself from common sense and decided to think only at the extreme point of its singularity? What if it mischievously practiced the bias of paradox, instead of complacently accepting its citizenship in the doxa? What if it thought difference differentially, instead of searching out the common elements underlying difference?1
