Abstract

A critical reading of Terry Eagleton's account of Michel Foucault as a philosopher who confuses ethical, epistemological and aesthetic realms. Eagleton's claims are read here as a misconstrual of Foucault's position as it developed towards an ethics of the self in the work of the 1970s and '80s.
