Re: Foucauldian readings on the History and Philosophy of Scientific Rationality

	Clearly, Foucault as well as academics in general have their 
subjectivities constituted by relations of power/knowledge as much as 
anyone else. As such, Foucault's works are effects of 'author functions.' 
But if that is all there is then I do not see a particular problem with 
recognizing that his works are 'effects' instead of the product of a 
creative intentionality that attained the relatively omniscient status of 
an academic that saw the 'truth' of power.
	This would be a problem if F argued that power relations were or 
are monolithic and fixed. But F's argument is that power relations are 
multiple and in constant transformation producing both normalizing
discourse/practices and d/p's that pervert or subvert the former.
	Presumably, Foucault's works are of the latter sort.
