The more specific problem in Discipline and Punish is the old sociological one of separating function, cause, purpose, and effect.
And the wonderful ironies and paradoxes in the writing sometimes prove elusive by being just too ironical and paradoxical.
The argument is often repetitive it is evasively and perversely obscure just when concrete explanations are called for and it is maddeningly parochial in its focus on France and reliance on French sources (David Rothman’s work is not even mentioned and much of the material on Britain and America derives from secondary sources). I would see most of the important sociological criticisms and reservations as endemic to Foucault’s intellectual birthright. I have concentrated in this review on a somewhat uncritical sighting of the dense and difficult terrain which the book covers.
