Evidence

At the deepest level of Western knowledge, Marxism introduces no real discontinuity; it finds its place without difficulty, as a full, quiet, comfortable and, goodness knows, satisfying form for a time (its own) within an epistemological arrangement which welcomed it gladly. — Aijaz Ahmad, In Theory, 612

Categorization

• XREF: This is the target of Aijaz Ahmad’s broader critique in the book — Foucault’s dismissal of Marxism as non-discontinuous with Western thought, in tension with Ahmad’s own historical materialist commitments.
