Subject: Re:Althusser, Foucault and Historical Ontology 


I raised some issues about Althusser a while back, and I would also like to
continue a discussion on Foucault's uses of Althusser and Structural Marxism. 
As far as I'm concerned, there's no question that Althusser had an impact on
Foucault's writings (and later, vice-versa) -- he is the principal influence -
and Nietzsche is not.  Althusser first laid the grounds for an antihumanist
historiography ("Marxism and Humanism") that became the basis for both
archeology and geneology.
