[Xmca-l] Re: Foucault

[Martin John Packer]

Foucault did, however, study with Merleau-Ponty between 1946 and 1952 (obtaining his license in philosophy in 1948, in psychology in 1950, and a diploma in psychopathology in 1952). It was during this time that he first read Heidegger and Nietzsche. He studied with Hyppolite between 1954 and 1963. He inherited Hyppolite's chair at Collège de France in 1970.
