who was in the wrong here?

Foucault was basically giving a Foucault 101 lecture on the relativity of worldviews and value systems, discursive construction, etc., with his implicit moral stance that all discourses threaten to become tyrannical.

Chomsky was basically giving a Chomsky 101 lecture on how we should preserve real positive civilisational values like justice and moderation through critiquing stuff.

Chomsky was being Anglo, Foucault was being French. Neither was really talking to the other.

They're basically having two entirely different discussions, but chomsky is basic and repetitive.

This. It was fucking pathetic to watch

Very poor debate.

Focault's ideas are less relevant to the topic.

Philosophy was the loser.

I think Plato BTFO'd Thrasymachus.

Chomsky is a silly old man who is no longer relevant.

The key thing is that if someone in the audience got up and shot both Foucault and Chomsky, the world would not have been any poorer for it.

Idiot, would have turned them in to philosophy gods.
