The Humanist Turn in Foucault's Rhetoric of Inquiry.
Blair, Carole; Cooper, Martha
Quarterly Journal of Speech, v73 n2 p151-71 May 1987
Discusses the relationship of Michel Foucault's work to the human perspective. Argues that Fisher is inaccurate in characterizing Foucault as an "anti-humanist." Claims that Foucault's concept of the "statement" and his method of critique turn the humanist perspective toward a liberating, activist form that allows for change within the status quo. (JD)
