A fellow intellectual, Guy Sorman, has unleashed a storm among Parisian “intellos” with his claim that Foucault, who died in 1984 aged 57, was a paedophile rapist who had sex with Arab children while living in Tunisia in the late 1960s.

>Sorman, 77, said he had visited Foucault with a group of friends on an Easter holiday trip to the village of Sidi Bou Said, near Tunis, where the philosopher was living in 1969. “Young children were running after Foucault saying ‘what about me? take me, take me’,” he recalled last week in an interview with The Sunday Times.

>“They were eight, nine, ten years old, he was throwing money at them and would say ‘let’s meet at 10pm at the usual place’.” This, it turned out, was the local cemetery: “He would make love there on the gravestones with young boys. The question of consent wasn’t even raised.”

So how many kids did he give aids to?

How could one man cause so much destruction to Western thought?

"Philosopher Michel Foucault, icon of the current identity ideology, became the latest French personality to face a retrospective reckoning for sexually abusing children."

"An intellectual colleague, Guy Sorman, caused a storm in the Paris intelligentsia with his claim that Foucault, who died in 1984 at the age of 57, was a pedophile rapist who had sex with Arab children while living in Tunisia in the late 1960s."
