CRITIQUE AS CRITICAL HISTORY - BREGHAM DALGLIES...

This book presents the first sustained articulation of a Foucauldian oeuvre . It situates
Foucault's critique within the tradition of Kant's call for a philosophical archaeology of
reason  in parallel  it demonstrates the priority in Foucault's thought of Nietzsche over
Heidegger and the framing of reason against an ontology of power. Bregham Dalgliesh hereby
claims that at the heart of the Foucauldian oeuvre is the philosophical method of critical
history. Its task is to make the will to know that drives thought conscious of itself as a
problem  especially the regimes of truth that define our governmentalities. By revealing the
contingency of their constituent parts of knowledge  power and ethics  Dalgliesh demonstrates
that critical history offers an alternative mode of critique to the hithertofore singular
reading of the intellectual heritage of enlightenment  while it fosters an agonistic concept of
freedom in respect of our putatively necessary limits.
