Katzman, There has in this way and to this extent been a concern for truth, for finding out more truths about society and human behaviour, and the discourses embodying this concern have been more or less scientific, more or less reliant on concepts and sentences with (what are widely agreed to be) empirical referents and more or less linked to (what are widely agreed to be) empirical (though theory-laden) research … In this way, Foucault finds himself closer to the views of Donald Davidson and Richard Rorty.

Rather, Foucault’s concern was with the self as a problem, requiring production and manipulation and thereby becoming a basis for ethics. While the language used may have seemed neutral and based in science, it was primed by bourgeois morality and a concern to protect powerful interests. OJAS Rather than this conclusion, which leaves unanswered the most important questions Prado raises, why not say that beliefs and sentences are justified discursively, that truth is a deflationary matter, and that realism is epistemically inert? Prado's project here strikes me as less successful than his last endeavor articulating Foucault in terms of Anglo-American philosophy. SN IJIDS Vol.2 No.1, 27, JBBS Finally, and seemingly in tension with at least the constructivist and criterial uses of truth, the tacit-realist use of truth is committed to the idea that there is a reality that has something to do with what we believe.

Although it is often thought that Searle's relational conception of truth is predicated on a realism about the world, while Foucault's discursive conception is predicated on a denial of the world or an irrealism, only the first view is correct. In the final chapter of the book, Prado argues that the epistemic divide between Searle and Foucault must be conceived in a particular way.

Further (although this point cannot be developed here), if we take Foucault's tacit-realist use of truth indeed to concern truth, but in a deflationary way, then Foucault can retain a concept of truth, distinguish it from justification, and not have to face the problems with which Prado confronts Searle.

OJFD ASM In this case, in contrast to Prado's earlier book, he is led astray by focusing on the wrong Anglo-American theorists.

Foucault details how punishment took the form of public torture so that members of society could witness the absolute power of the sovereign and therein learn to obey, because crimes were committed against the sovereign. OJCE OJIC In particular, if Foucault holds a discursive view of truth, this raises the question of the status of his own genealogies. The former problem is resolved if we take justification as something that arises in practices, a point Foucault himself insisted upon. The question is whether that reality is relevant to our conception of truth. Genealogy is a form of critical history in the sense that it attempts a diagnosis of ‘the present time, and of what we are, in this very moment’ in order … Further (although this point cannot be developed here), if we take Foucault's tacit-realist use of truth indeed to concern truth, but in a deflationary way, then Foucault can retain a concept of truth, distinguish it from justification, and not have to face the problems with which Prado confronts Searle.

He argues that although Foucault and Searle have diverging views of truth, they share a commitment to realism, that is, the view that there is a reality out there that affects our experience. As Patton shows, Foucault assigns the decisive role to Nietzsche due to his attacks on the metaphysical conception of truth as a self-standing object that is naturally available to the subject, especially in "On Truth and Lie in a Nonmoral Sense" and in The Gay Science. Interviews and other writings, 1977-1984 (pp.255-267).

Ranging broadly from Homer to the twentieth century, Foucault traces the early use of truth-telling in ancient Greece and follows it through to practices of self-examination in monastic times.

In particular, he takes up Searle's discussion of the background capacities and social conventions necessary to have certain beliefs, arguing that these are hard to square with Searle's relational conception of truth, since what they are about is not something out there in the world that could confirm or disconfirm beliefs about them. This avoids Prado's having to say that the virtue of Foucault's genealogies lies primarily in their novelty and their challenge to dominant discourses rather than in their being discourses we actually have reason to believe. ABB OJAcct OJMN CT ‘The Concern for Truth’, in Michel Foucault: Politics, Philos-ophy, Culture, Interviews and Other Writings 1977–1984, ed. Foucault developed a more affirmative practice of genealogy that not only discredits truth claims by tracing them back to their inglorious origins. He offers the analogy with the idea of the good, arguing that goodness can be predicated of disparate things without thereby losing its character as good. Rather than denying realism, Foucault denies that reality plays an epistemic role, in particular that it justifies our beliefs.

There, Foucault maintains that modern ethical thought attempts to derive moral obligations from human nature and yet modern thought also holds that human nature can never be, given the fact of human finitude, fully given to human knowledge.
