Michel Foucault in *Explaining Postmodernism*

Michel Foucault said:

“All my analyses are against the idea of universal necessities in human existence.”

And philosopher Todd May summarizes Foucault’s conclusion this way:

“It is meaningless to speak in the name of—or against—Reason, Truth, or Knowledge.”

For more on Foucault’s contributions to postmodernism, see p. 11 of my Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism from Rousseau to Foucault.
