Kelly, Michael: "Critique and Power: recasting the Foucault/ Habermas debate"

Submitted by Alex Gibson on Thu, 05/04/2007 - 00:13.
  • research

In this anthology Michael Kelly recasts the debate in a way that will open it up for further development. The book starts by juxtaposing key texts from the two philosophers; it then adds a set of reactions and commentaries by theorists who have taken up the two alternative approaches to power and critique. (Two of these essays were written especially for this volume.) The result is a guide for those seeking to understand and build on this important but unfinished debate. Essays by: Michel Foucault. Jürgen Habermas. Axel Honneth. Nancy Fraser. Richard Bernstein. Thomas McCarthy. James Schmidt and Thomas E. Wartenberg. Gilles Deleuze. Jana Sawicki. Michael Kelly.

A research paper

Submitted by Alex Gibson on Fri, 06/04/2007 - 01:07.

Flyvbjerg, Bent: "Ideal Theory, Real Rationality: Habermas Versus Foucault and Nietzsche"

The paper presents Jürgen Habermas as an example of a political philosopher who fails to recognize that actual political and administrative rationality largely disrupts the relevance of his ideal prescriptions. Michel Foucault is proposed as an antidote to Habermas in a comparative study of the two. Machiavellian verita effettuale (effective truth) and Nietzschean wirkliche Historie (real history) are seen as more effective means to understand and limit rationalization and power than Habermasian Diskursetik (discourse ethics).
