Foucault is unironically based. Despite the political mileage wokescolds get out of using his name for a veneer of intellectualism, his works are strikingly free from of moralizations. Foucault is from a time when the political left was actually radical and subversive, rather than petulant and servile.

This is also true.

the one concept that wins you any argument

World War Two was a French plot to destroy German philosophy, in particular, Marxism. Think about it. Why is that the philosophers of the 20th century have been such names as Lyotard, Foucault, Baudrillard, Derrida and a hundred other unpronounceable Gallicisms?

The problem with Hitler (a Catholic and therefore a spiritual Frenchman!) was the obsession with Lebensraum completely ignored Germany's own ideal heritage - a sad fact that makes Nazism inconsistent insofar as it returns to materialism and consumerism. It has taken at least a century or so for Hegel, Schopenhauer, Stirner and the Big M to resurface.

World War Two was a French, Papist/Catholic, Eternal Frog plot to destroy German philosophy or set it back for tens on tens of years and it has been wildly successful. Dirlewanger shouldn't have been deployed on the East, he should've been sicced onto Paris.

If he was so powerful why couldn't he just deconstruct his AIDS? LMAOOOOOO
Heretics 0 / God 1

where to start with this beautiful man?

Will people like Foucault be seen as modern Sophists some time in the near future? Much of the work of Foucault, Zizek, etc. are purely unfalsifiable and are mostly mental constructs used to serve their own ends.

What does /lit/ believe to be the most influential political philosophers/books that influence today's society? Particularly, those who influenced right wing politics.

You guys don't actually believe in "human nature" do you?

Where to start

Foucault solved Gender theory

Foucault will help you stop in-grouping so much

Currently reading Madness and Civilization. I am enjoying how he writes but he does tend to drag on things.

>Implying you mustn't have read a love story in order to experience love.
Don't be a meme, dream.

Discourse

Where do I start with this French fuck? I'm already loosely familiar (the Panopticon, specifically, which I know is from "Discipline and Punish) but he's ludicrously hard to understand and he's got a lot bigger of a body of work than I anticipated.

Where on the sides of this deep end is there a diving board? "The Order of Things"?

I'm interested in Foucault. I'm reading Discipline and Punish and it really got me.
But I don't know which book should I read after finishing that. Could you recommend any?
