Charles,
I remember reading Michel Foucault many, many years ago. I think it was "Dicipline & Punish". I recall him being a pop intellectual in the early 80s. I know he passed away many years ago.

See what years of SF leather clubs and French cigarettes will do to you, Michel?

Philosophy is a fancy word for wanking.

What, no photo of his pendulum? Charles, you're slipping.

The younger Foucault was pretty damn cute. The older one; PASS!!

I agree with everything you said!

dying from AIDS does tend to harden one...

Charles, the top two texts you listed, 'Discipline and Punish' and the 'The History of Sexuality Volume One', were almost certainly written during the bald years - so the pictures you present don't really support your argument. Let's face it, what you are really saying is that the Foucault with hair is more attractive than the bald Foucault. Non?

I totally agree with the list, though. Just not your chosen visual representation...

I can't stop with Discipline & Punish. His discussion of how power structures our society is important in so many ways to so many fields of study. As a student of political theory, this, along with the competing yet complimentary texts of Hannah Arendt, guide most everything I read and write.

What's uncle fester doing in my SLOG?

Jesus, that guy looks like he coulda been my uncle.

oh.

Good Morning Charles,
Here's an interesting piece referencing Michel Foucualt by Theodore Darymple:

The "abolition of prisons"? Bad idea.
