Foucault Blog has a useful post detailing a particular right-wing attack (by David Frum) on Foucault, but which is also useful as an entry point for understanding the philosopher’s politics of doubt.

FAITH IS DOUBT ON PROBATION
The scrim of matter
we’ve had pulled over
our own eyes has wholly
obstructed knowledge
as if we took the empty shell
for the whole bivalve
how could death be if life did not
precede it life was always
first and only birth and death
either side of a swinging door
as if we’ve all forgotten how
to speak that other language
we know
we halfway hear.
