From James Miller, The Passion of Michel Foucault
Through an ordeal of self-chosen “torture”, a human being might get beyond conventional ways of thinking [...]. Surrendering to a “kind of dissociative gaze able to dissociate itself”, one might then be able to see – at a glance, as it were – “the body totally imprinted by history, and history ruining the body”. Armed with this quintessentially Nietzschean kind of “knowledge”, the genealogist of “suffering-pleasure” might even be able to imagine new combinations of impulses and phantasms, new relationships of power, a new “style” of life – perhaps even a new “game” of “truth”. |
I couldn't have made it without Foucault.
