I can't believe I forgot about Foucault when I was doing the OP for this thread. He did have some good insights, but the fact that the Most Cited Scholar In The Humanities is someone who wanted to legalize pedophilia and supported the Ayatollah Khomeini is an embarrassment.
Well sure, but should academics have not cited Foucault on power or what have you because he wrote a positive article about the Islamic Revolution? This kind of charge is like saying Kant is a discredited philosopher because he was a biological racist (and people have argued this).
Far more problematic about Foucault is that the actual history he wrote is basically crap.
