_The target of this part of the book would appear to be the Modern French
Intellectual tradition and the Postmodernism that it spawned. Chomsky is
quoted as saying that: "Intellectuals try to make it look difficult;
postmodernism carries this to extremes, in my opinion". In the section
"Chomsky on the French Intellectual Tradition", Chomsky is quoted as
saying: "almost no one in France has ever had any idea of what my
political or academic work is about" (p.196) this must be because they
have yet to learn "how to tell the truth, to pay attention to the facts
and to reach standards of minimal rationality" (p.197). Foucault comes
out relatively unscathed from the sideswipe at postmodernism. As Barsky
notes (p.195) "... Chomsky and Foucault are often on the same
wavelength"._
