Abstract
The paper presents an examination of the significance of Foucault's well-known dictum: 'In political thought and analysis, we still have not cut off the head of the king. The author attempts to approach three interrelated issues in relation to the French thinker's work: his disassociation from the problematic of the repressive state, his disapproval of the use of the term ideology and his systematic avoidance of formulating coherent theoretical statements. The author argues that the true theoretical and political importance of these issues is revealed by connecting them to Foucault's approach to the question of sovereignty an legitimation, and by considering his work as a continuation of Kantian critique.
