<DIV></DIV>>Is anybody reading or have already read Beatrice Han's Foucault's
<DIV></DIV>>Critical Project: Between the transcednetnal and the historical? The
<DIV></DIV>>book was published back in 1998 in French but english version has
<DIV></DIV>>just come out. Havent read it yet but on intitial borowsing (and
<DIV></DIV>>with some prior information about its content) seems interesting.
<DIV></DIV>>Two things strike me at once. One is its emphasis on Kantian
<DIV></DIV>>heritage of Foucault and the other its the consideration of
<DIV></DIV>>transcendetnal theme in Foucault as central. Back in 1996 I had
<DIV></DIV>>written my masters dissertation on similar themes and am interested
<DIV></DIV>>in this aspect of Foucault since then. I would very much like to
<DIV></DIV>>share with others interested in similar themes.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Also I am looking to initiate a discussion regarding Foucault's
<DIV></DIV>>conception of ontology and epistemology and their relation in the
<DIV></DIV>>context of his overall thought. I think this topic is closely
<DIV></DIV>>related to Foucault's relation with Kant and his conception of
<DIV></DIV>>transcendence.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I am currently working on a comparative study about Foucault and
<DIV></DIV>>Habermas based on their respective conception of epistemology and
<DIV></DIV>>ontology and would like to get in touch with anybody out there
<DIV></DIV>>interested in this or related themes. Normally Habermas and Focuault
<DIV></DIV>>are considered very different and at times thinkers at war against
<DIV></DIV>>each other. But there are close affinities nevertheless which I
<DIV></DIV>>think are worth pursuing not with the aim of levelling differences
<DIV></DIV>>but with the aim of understanding divergences and convergences that
<DIV></DIV>>constitute our present.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Best regards
<DIV></DIV>>and happy new year to all listers.
