It's clear from letters to editors, reporter interviews, informal conversations and such that the drive to outlaw same-sex marriage in Maine was a drive led by Christians; by clergy and their flocks. Success in that effort is viewed by most as a victory for Christians. And that's good, or so some do say, because "after all America is a Christian nation." They are mistaken. America is a secular state painstakingly organized as such by the Founding Fathers. It is not a theocracy. Intellectuals of the 18th century saw themselves as freed from the tyrannies of the church of the Middle Ages, from inquisitions, trials of witches, massacres of heretics and corrupt clergy by the triumphs of reason; by the examples of Kepler, Euclid and Newton. Consequently, the 18th century is variously called...

According to the consensus established by the secondary literature, Foucault's early and middle work culminates in a kind of totalizing theoretical cage (of which "discipline" is the highest manifestation) that in turn constituted a kind of crisis or dead-end for Foucault's thinking by the mid1 970s __ Foucault's late work performs a 1 80-degree turn away from the (too- totalizing and demoralizing) "power" discourse of the early and mid1 970s and culminated in a renewed appreciation of the Enlightenment subject, the ethical arts of the self, and resistance to normalized totalization through individual action.3 What is especially notable about this thesis is that it cleaves Foucault's corpus in two, definitively separating the parts as having opposing interests and formulations. In work...

From cosmological mythology to fascism, unitary reason, this essay suggests, occupies a position of power; subjugates all other reasoning processes; assumes the rung of a highest generality; subsumes all other forms of reason; formalizes hierarchical differences; perpetuates its position in time; absorbs redefinitions of and within the hierarchy; ritualizes relations within the hierarchy; opposes competing hierarchies; and imposes sanctions for violations of relations within its order. 40 A modest critique of reason is introduced by Charles Taylor who advocates sensitivity to cultural specificity without giving up on such major Enlightenment principles as the dignity of the rational, disengaged individual; pursuit of happiness through labor, sexuality, marriage, family, and ordinary li...
