Dear Oscar,

You write > If this is the case, then it is not dishonesty you are referring
to but relativism, I would think.

That is clearly incorrect.  Keynes promoted guile which is unequivocally
deception.

I would much like to debate Foucault further, but this is probably not the
place.  Maybe HOPOS would be, if you are of a mind?

My views on intellectual relativism were planted in the good old days, when
Russell and Ryle were arguing in ‘The Times’  and I was in junior school,
learning to sing ‘The Vicar of Bray'.
