When/Why Ideas are Political

Stanley Fish has a great essay in the NYT in response to the soon to be published “French Theory: How Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, & Co. Transformed the Intellectual Life of the United States” by Francois Cusset.

It looks like a great book to introduce graduate students to the history of ideas. Anyone plan to read it?
