From Kant to Foucault
Kompridis, Nicolas
From Kant to Foucault - 2003.
91
If anything unites European philosophy after Kant, it is the idea of philosophy as critique – at once a critique of reason, a critique of modernity, and a critique of philosophy. The history of post-Kantian European philosophy, or, to use a more common term, of ‘continental philosophy’, can be best understood as the history of various attempts to put this idea of philosophy into practice. Unfortunately, this idea of philosophy has reached an impasse, a crisis, due to the widespread tendency to interpret its meaning in a very narrow and self-undermining way. Thispaper represents my response to this crisis.
