21943 | Since Kant, self-criticism has been part of philosophy [Gutting] |
Full Idea: Philosophy after Kant has involved a continuing critique of its own project. | |
From: Gary Gutting (Foucault: a very short introduction [2005], 6) | |
A reaction: I'm struck by many modern philosophers in the analytic tradition who write as if Kant had never existed. I don't know if that is a conscious decision, but it may be a good one. |
21944 | Structuralism describes human phenomena in terms of unconscious structures [Gutting] |
Full Idea: Structuralism in the 1960s was a set of theories which explained human phenomena in terms of underlying unconscious structures, rather than the lived experience described by Phenomenology. | |
From: Gary Gutting (Foucault: a very short introduction [2005], 6) | |
A reaction: Hence the interest in Freud and Marx, and Foucault's interest in history, each offering to unmask what is hidden in consciousness. The unmasking is a basically Kantian project. Cf. Frege's hatred of 'psychologism'. |
