To expand upon the point raised about authority Foucaults Discipline and Punish.

No worries, I probs wouldn't count on judging how much I liked him by those two though - particularly The Idiot
Try the ones I recommended at least, particularly Notes and The Gambler (just steal them or s/t, he would have wanted you to)
>>8442227
Everyone knows Foucault was a better scientist then he was a philosopher.
Like Einstein, or Newton, or Hawking
>>8442228
Yeah I'm more hyped about The Idiot myself but the friend I borrowed the books from told me to read Crime and Punishment first.
So far so good though so might just read more.
Fucking Russians man, they know their shit when it comes to great literature.

The prose, and the psychology, personnal favorite is La chartreuse de Parme.

Scruton adresses this nicely in this article:
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/dec/19/high-culture-fake
Regardless, or maybe even because of this i believe it's a rather good read.
note: This article dives in mostly on The Order of things but some points raised in C&P are revised or re-examined in this book.
