Falsifying Foucault? Social Sciences as Instrument of Power
Résumé
I wonder how can Foucault, who refers to Nietzsche as source of inspiration, speaks of falsification and deny at the same time objectivity of truthbesides the obvious pun. The challenge of Nietzsche is to contest the objectivity of truth as human desiderata, in such a context Foucault's notion of falsification (of what? falsification of an objective reality?) does either make no sense at all or encodes some other meaning beyond being falsea possible reading would be to take it that Foucault means "distortion", or better "will to deceive " we will come to this further on.
