Foucault-L mail-list

Dear Nick,

Foucault engages with Kant’s answer to this question mainly in four 
texts, one dated 1978- called /Qu’est-ce que la critique? /(translated 
in Italian as /Illuminismo e Critica, /Roma: Donzelli Editore, 1997) - 
the other two are both dated 1984 and called ‘What is Englightenment?’, 
one published in /The Foucault Reader,/ London : Penguin, 1984, p. 
32,also online at http://courses.essex.ac.uk/cs/cs101/foucault.htm, the 
other in /Magazine Littéraire, /n. 207, the latter is an extract from 
the course at Collège de France on 5 January 1983, translated in Italian 
in /Archivio Foucault 3/, Milano: Feltrinelli, 1998. Other explicit 
references to Kant’s reply to the question appear in Foucault’s 
introduction to Canguilhem’s /The Normal and the Pathological /[1978], 
published as ‘Life: Experience and Science’ in /Essential Works: 
Aesthetics, / London : Penguin, 2000, p. 465.
