"Ethically (IR-)Responsible?"

"I would say also, about the work of an intellectual, that it is fruitful in a certain way to describe that-which-is by making it appear as something that might not be, or that might not be as it is. Which is why this designation or description of the real never has a prescriptive value of the kind, because this is, that will be."

Consider Foucault's approach--both what he states in interview (above) and as modeled in his writing. Do you consider his approach responsible or ir-responsible? Do you find his approach compelling?
