Why is a French pedophile that died from AIDS so revered in academic leftist literature?

is reading THE HISTORY OF HUMAN SEXUALITY worth it in the modern age? is any of it still relevant?

Lmao imagine thinking social constructions should be deconstructed.

He would've opposed the vaccine mandate

>government institutions hold power over you. did you know that? bet you didnt

why is he considered a philosopher again

>In 1976, philosopher and historianMichel Foucaultargued inThe History of Sexualitythat homosexuality as an identity did not exist in the eighteenth century; that people instead spoke of "sodomy," which referred to sexual acts. Sodomy was a crime that was often ignored, but sometimes punished severely undersodomy laws. He wrote, "'Sexuality' is an invention of the modern state, the industrial revolution, and capitalism."

What do we think of this?

What really is Foucault's stance on mental illness, exactly?

Does Michel Foucault explicitly stated pills are wrong, or was there some respect in modern pharmacy?

I plan to begin translating Homer’s The Odyssey soon and release it sometime next year. This translation will be unique as I will be translating it from Latin (after I learn Latin which should only take me a few months.) Normally I recommend Emily Wilson’s translation as it is the most accurate from Greek translation, but a from Greek translation on serves to better appreciate Plato dunking on Homer. Homer is a hack and should be thought of as one.

The thing is, Heidegger was wrong about Greek and German being the languages of philosophy; it’s actually Latin, which was were the greatest developments in NeoPlatonism can be seen. I know Plotinus wrote in Greek, but he only laid the foundations; the real work was in Latin. Plotinus I believe also approached Plato with a Latin mind, and he very likely knew Latin. As well all know, knowing another language helps you think in different ways, so the origin of Plotinus’ writing is in essence Latin.

So why am I translating the work of a hack from Latin? Because the rendering of Homer into Latin gave it NeoPlatonic underpinnings that were not there before, or rather UNCONCEALED them.

Normally I say, start with the Greeks, but Plato and Aristotle, not Homer and Hesiod, but with this translation, Homer can be added to the essential Greeks.

Homer is trash. When people say “start with the Greeks,” what is meant is “start with Plato and Aristotle.”

Some Jewish fuckhead named, I kid you fucking not, Solomon bullied me 9th and most of 10th grade. Little fucker said I look like a chink and therefore have a small dick (mind you I’m half German-English and half Mexican-Irish, but I’m sure the Mexican part is all Spanish; that side of the family is from Veracruz.) Anyways, this fuckhead pants’s me on my way to AP World History, which I passed with flying colors by the way, but a good few dozen others see my dick and laugh saying it’s small. It’s not small, it’s over 5 inches so more than average. Besides, who cares about dick size; I’m not a hylic. But the dumb school jokes about this nonstop so I change to homeschooling end of 10th grade.

Bottom line is, Jews all serve The Capital aka The Demiurge.

>muh homosexuality

How responsible for the current day gender ideologies and queer theories are the endlessly horny and degenerate French intellectuals of the mid 20th century?

I recommend The Order of Things, History of Madness and the History of Sexuality

He's not a leftist and he's far from being an SJW

Marx didn't die. He shaved his head and beard and went under the name Michel Foucault.

Flannery should have taken the bald pill

He would have taken the vaccine.

Why do all left-wing intellectuals turn out to be pedophiles?

>Following the debate, Chomsky was stricken with Foucault's total rejection of the possibility of a universal morality, stating "He struck me as completely amoral, I'd never met anyone who was so totally amoral... I mean, I liked him personally, it's just that I couldn't make sense of him. It's as if he was from a different species, or something."

Eerie.
