This study presents the theoretical apparatus of Foucaults early historical analyses as a version of Kantian criticism. in an initial textual exposition, the author attempts to distill a unified discursive practice from Kants theoretical writings, arguing for Foucaults proximity to Kant on the basis of this reconstruction, by showing that his studies are modeled on this way of thinking. By recasting it in this framework, an unorthodox version of Foucaults work is generated, one that is at odds with the tendency to emphasize a certain skepticism about the possibility of universal and necessary knowledge in his writings, and to mistake it for irrationalism and a hostility to the practice of theory. By drawing attention to the structural parallel between Foucaults practice and Kantian criticism, this study belies this picture.Djaballah, Marc is the author of 'Kant, Foucault, and Forms of Experience', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415956246 and ISBN 0415956242.
