Nonetheless, it is a claim that has come under fire from an array of critical perspectives in the second half of the 20th century. Iain MacKenzie's monograph lays the focus on the challenges to the category of truth formulated by poststructuralists such as Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze and post-foundationalism as represented by Alain Badiou.
