Foucault-L mail-list

I have read the two first lectures of this course. Foucault talks about the 
text "Was ist Aufkärung?", by Kant. It's a little bit similar to what he has 
developed in a text about the same subject some years ago. He reads Kant as 
beginner of the modern philosophy, that is the philosophy as a critique of 
the present (une ontologie du présent).

Kant's text is important to what Foucault will develop afterwards because 
"le gouvernment de soi et des autres" goes together this critical attitude 
initiated by Kant. To have a public space where the critique is possible is 
one of the conditions for these "governenments".
