Foucaultians?
Is that a thing?

>> No.2499338

Foucault's writings on power have been an influence on the novel I'm writing now.

I don't know if that makes me a Foucaultian.

He would have liked that.
LANGUAGE IS POWER

Modern French thinkers have a tendency to fuck things up.

Camus: It doesn't mean anything let's be humanistic and socialist as fuck
Sartre: I have no idea let's all worship Mao
Foucault: Yes you see Nietzsche and shit well I love me some Islamic theocracies

You mean 'Foucauldians'?

Anyways. Derrida/Foucault/Deleuze are the best philosophers of the 20th century.

Nebeltag. Der Herbst geht um.
Das Lachen scheint verdorben;
die Welt liegt heut so stumm,
als sei sie nachts gestorben.
Im golden roten Hag
brauen die Nebeldrachen;
und schlummernd liegt der Tag.
Der Tag will nicht erwachen.
~
Foggy day. Grey autumn haunts us.
Laughter seems tainted;
the world is as silent today
as though it had died last night.
In the red-gold hedge
fog monsters are brewing;
the day lies asleep.
The day will not awaken.

Foucault said there is no power in language, only language in the service of power. i like that. i like his books, they are full of very interesting historical anecdotes. like the quarantine processes during the plague. he gets more boring the more he moves away from his sources, so i think he is just an okay theorist but i am glad he is doing the hard work of research so i can enjoy myself. or rather i'm glad that he did do it.

Foucault is the only one that can be saved from the french philosophers from the after-war. I dont really like his last writings on self-techniques but he did and say important things in his brighter years.

Too bad Adorno said everything Deleuze said (minus all the references to Thomism & scholasticism) in Difference and Repetition, only ADORNO SAID IT FIRST AND BETTER.

Foucault = one of the best ever. I tend to prefer earlier Foucault though. History of Madness is one of my favourite all-time books.
