“This developing awareness may encourage questioning of identity constructs and social phenomena as givens; what Foucault describes as loosening “regimes of truth” (McWhorter, 2003, p.10).”

- James D. Faubion (New York: The New Press, 2000), 233.
- My interpretation is very different from that of Jeremy Carrette, who has written extensively on the subject. Carrette sees Foucault's "political spirituality" as a critique of religious utterances, particularly in his work on confession and govern- mentality. I see the issue in much broader terms, not linked in any essential way with critique of Christianity at all. But for Carrette's view, see his Foucault and Religion: Spiritual Corporality and Political Spirituality (New York: Routledge, 2000), especially 43 and 136-41.
- An example can be found in Foucault's discussion of Greek ethoi of self-mastery in The Use of Plea- sure, trans. Robert Hurley (New York: Pantheon, 1985).
- Michel Foucault, "The Ethics of the Concern for Self as a Practice of Freedom," in Ethics: Subjec- tivity and Truth, The Essential Works of Foucault, Vol. I, ed. Paul Rabinow (New York: The New Press, 1997), 299. Hereafter this will be cited as ECSPF.
- Luther H. Martin, Huck Gutman, and Patrick H. Hutton (Amherst, MA: University of Massachusetts Press, 1988), 18.
- Donald F. Bouchard (Ithaca: Cornell Univer- sity Press, 1977), 154. The exact quotation is: "This is because knowledge is not made for under- standing; it is made for cutting."

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
