It is commonly held that the change from the concrete view of the axiomatic method to the abstract one originated from the creation of non-Euclidean geometries and algebraic theories beyond the traditional theory of equations. This contrasts with the fact that the creators of non-Euclidean geometries and algebras as abstract systems presented them as concrete investigations. This paper puts forward an alternative explanation in terms of the impact of Romanticism on mathematics
Among the various approaches that have developed from FOUCAULT's work is an Anglophone discourse analysis that has attempted to combine Foucaultian insights with the techniques of Conversation Analysis. An important current methodological issue in this discourse analytical approach is its theoretical preference for "naturally occurring" rather than research interview data. A Foucaultian perspective on the interview as a research instrument, questions the idea of "naturally-occurring discourse". The "technology of the confessional" operates, not only within research interviews, but permeates other interactions as well. Drawing on FOUCAULT does not dismiss the problems of the interview as research instrument rather it shows they cannot be escaped by simply switching to more "natural" interactions. Combining these insights with recent developments within discourse analysis can provide analytical resources for, rather than barriers to, the discourse analysis of research interviews. To aid such an approach, we develop a four-way categorisation of analytical stances towards the research interview in discourse analysis. A demonstration of how a research interview might be subjected to a discourse analysis using elements of this approach is then provided. discourse analysis, Foucault, technology of the confessional, naturally occurring data, research interviews PLEASE NOTE THE FINAL AND DEFINITIVE IS FREELY AVAILABLE AT "one has to have an inverted image of power in order to believe that all these voices which have spoken so long in our civilization-repeating the formidable injunction to tell what one is and what one does, what one recollects and what one has forgotten, what one is thinking and what one thinks he is not thinking-are speaking to us of freedom." [2] in a more helpful way. As we conclude this section we see how FOUCAULT's "technology of the confessional" allows a more specific understanding of what is happening in research interviews, while revealing that the pervasiveness of the issues involved means that merely avoiding research interview is rather futile.
John Locke's Politics of Moral Consensus
The aim of this highly original book is twofold: to explain the reconciliation of religion and politics in the work of John Locke and to explore the relevance of that reconciliation for politics in our own time.
