Ed,

I actually didn't go so far as to say that Foucalt is agreeing with the
Frankfurt school (I haven't even read the piece in question!).
I said it seemed that he was _influenced_ by the Frankfurt school,
in the capacity of John's original question, namely:
"that critique is itself a virtue that can and should be pursued
even when one lacks a decent blueprint for a just society."

So, perhaps we are not in disagreement. I think the questions you raise
are more interesting ones, though--I probably wasn't going out on much
of a limb by positing an influence by the Frankfurt school--and hopefully
I can take this up in detail when I'm better informed.

----Ben
