“Mendel spoke the truth, but he was not “within the true” of the biological discourse of his time...”
Foucault thinks that in this case, the credibility of truth relied on its relation to a cultural moment, or a disciplinary timeline/history. Can a “truth” ever transcend time and its cultural moment? If so, what sort of truth would be accepted as credible without abiding by its current cultural/disciplinary boundaries?
