• This article deals with the relationship between the thought of Michel Foucault and that of Axel Honneth, arguing in favour of the former against the latter. I begin by considering Honneth's early engagement in The Critique of Power with Foucault's thought. I rebut Honneth's criticisms of Foucault here as a misreading, one which prevents Honneth from coming to grips with Foucault's position and hence the challenge that it poses to Honneth's project. I then move on to offer a Foucauldian critique of Honneth's own position, arguing for a Foucauldian alternative to Critical Theory.
