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'.
