%X The essay ¡°Archaeology and Humanism: An Incongruent Foucault¡±argues, among other things, that Foucault ¡°endorses a kind of humanism.¡± Moreover, Calvert-Minor attempts to show that withoutsuch an endorsement then the curative aspects regarding Foucault¡¯s genealogy of subjectivity would be nonsensical. To be sure, the author seems to demonstrate that there is a clear tension in Foucault¡¯s oeuvre regarding the Frenchman¡¯s changing stance towards, and at times unconscious embracement of, philosophical humanism. Such a claim, if true, would certainly be damaging to Foucault¡¯s archaeological and genealogical projects as he stridently rejected humanism in all of its myriad forms.
