Thoughts on Michel Foucault & other serious postmodern philosophers?

I'm looking for some intelligent discussion, critique, analysis, etc of the various postmodern philosophers, - tho especially Foucault - talking about some of the valuable things they had to say, perhaps what was obfuscatory about some of their ideas, maybe identifying just what postmodernism is exactly, etc.

I still haven't read it, but it sounds as if Foucault's work on Prisons and Mental Health are quite interesting and valuable - also, does anyone have experience with Deleuze and "Capitalism and Schizophrenia"?

O, never mind found this

He was cool in his younger years
But then he seemed to devolve into a New-"Left"/SJW near the later half off his life
He was also a bit pedo iirc

Most of the French Left was in the 1960s

Checked

Some more Foucault

God I don't want to be "le wrong generation xd" idiots, but I really really fucking miss when the caliber of public intellectual was AT LEAST Chomsky and Foucault and not

Jordan Peterson.

Foucault is great, as is Judith Butler. Both have some very questionable opinions about existing and prior leftist movements, but their criticism is in good faith and their theory is very useful for building new leftist theory and movements.


In the first ten pages of gender trouble she condemns identitarianism and warns against the arbitrary instatement of new sexual heirarchies. Tumblr & co. are jusr absolute retards who never read the theorists they laud

Sorry for a short unsupported post I need to get to work tho unfortunately
