About the Authors

The analytic impression of Michel Foucault is of a radical relativist whose views on truth entail linguistic idealism. C.G. Prado's book lays this misperception to rest, showing analytic philosophers that Foucault's ideas about truth are defensible and merit serious attention, while also demonstrating to Continental philosophers that Searle's ideas about truth can not be ignored. Prado rebuts the analytic impression of Michel Foucault as a radical relativist whose views on truth entail denial of the objective world, and demonstrates that Foucault is not only a realist, but also much closer than many imagine to John Searle and Donald Davidson, both model analytic thinkers.
- Timeliness regarding a growing mutual interest on the part of analytic and Continental philosophers in each other's work
- Reveals surprising similarities between paradigmatic representatives of analytic and postmodern thought
- Provids accessible exposition and criticism of philosophical positions so opposed that few regard them as capable of comparison
