Subject: Source of Foucault quote


I wonder if anyone can help me track down a Foucault quote. In his paper
'Foucault, Power and Institutions' in Political Studies XLVII, Mark Bevir claims
that Foucault 'evoked a dichotomy between philosophers who emphasize
consciousness and those who emphasize concepts. The former, including Sartre,
devise accounts of the subject that centre on experiences and their meaning. The
latter, including Althusser, Bachelard and Canguilhem, devise accounts of
systems of knowledge that centre on concepts and their relations.'
Can anyone tell me where to find such an idea in Foucualt's work?
Thanks,
Scott.
