A debate for framing debate
Back in 1971 Foucault and Chomsky got together for a debate. The debate, in and of itself, is interesting, as one might guess from the parties involved. I have also loved to go through the debate with people in order to clarify positions relative to the stances expressed in the debate.
A transcript of the debate is available here: http://criminyjicket.tripod.com/chomfouc.html
One would probably guess that i would generally agree with Chomsky and disagree with Foucault, but that often turns out not to be the case. (That will become more apparent in future posts ... this is a many part project ... it is a fairly lengthy debate.) Chomsky's focus on the creativity of the individual agent is where he and i go astray. My focus on the flows of scientific logic (and history) punctuated here and there but rarely by great individuals, often puts my thoughts more in-line with (at least my interpretation of) Foucault's thought process.

Hi there blog owner! I am searching blogs to find information and sources to help with my website:http://all4yournet.com/hearthealthyoga/ My site is fairly new about 8 months old and have a google pr of 3 and get about 50 people a day to visit. My site has bikram jersey new yoga and is all affiliate merchandise.
This is a new frontier for my wife and I and don't have very much experience but a friend suggested searching blogs to get ideas about how people sale and also what kind of information they offer their customers and clients. We are begining to make some good money selling bikram jersey new yoga related articles but I also want to offer my customers some quality information to go along with good deals. If you make it to my site and can offer some constructive critisizm I will take it into consideration or if you have some ideas it will be greatly appreciated. Remember we are on a budget and we do all the work ourselves.
Best Regards,
