Chomsky’s optimistic desire for a shared moral universe was quite at odds with Foucault’s “amoral” but nonetheless concrete ethical position. At base Foucault, like Bourdieu and Bataille, doesn’t trust discourse to provide the ethical value of an action. Instead it is about the microrelations of power in the moment of the moral crisis that matter. Fascinating stuff.
