  • Great I sure understood all that

  • Ёжик сошел с ума!

  • унылое гавно

  • Damn well wish I never started reading the comments for this video. Why did all the bigots coalesce here? (excluding me of course)

  • It makes more sense in French.

  • @idealfemale

    Some people are already dead, yet they are still able to walk around, work dead-end jobs, believe in false religions, support nonsensical movements, and physically die completely ignorant. No one who is seriously interested in truth disregards someone's work because they died of AIDS. That is a purely body-identified perspective, where one thinks that death is something that defines a person. Guess what? Foucault lived for 57 years and etched his name permanently into history.

  • @thepostnihilist People with AIDS aren't allowed to have their ideas count. We will never regard them as real humans.

  • @HomleandSecurity

    Exactly. What we do allow, however - and even worship - is empty rhetoric, false religions, "democratic" dictators and overpaid celebrities. We love lies, as long as they come from the rich, the powerful and the beautiful. But let a man who, heaven forbid, died of a disease come along and offer a little insight and the first thing we want to do is remind the world that he died of AIDS and should not even be heard. Humanity is in a sad state.

  • 5 people can read a text written by foucault and come up with 5 different interpretations... Not Good:)

  • I don't know a word of French, but this was still a joy to watch, since it confirmed to me that the genius and academic uber-god Foucault was also a man who lived, breathed, spoke and walked among us

  • Foucault relies too heavily on commas.

  • @cincyblows The best writers use a lot of commas.

  • @07Aristotle Truly great writers don't need them, you kno -oh never mind.

  • @cincyblows The best writers in the literature of philosophy use commas in order to make transitions. And in philosophy you need to make a lot of them. They also help you with logical build up, but you got to be really skilled writer in order to use them correctly, without punctuation error.

  • @07Aristotle Commas are fine for awhile, but too many in one sentence makes them seem like a verbal slalom course.

  • @cincyblows I think commas are awesome. In ancient greek philosphy and other early 20th century philosophy, commas are used to formulate argument or logical form into sentences. Modernly, we have lost that ability, its lost its ''poetics''.

  • @07Aristotle They're fine up to a point (I think). But yeah, I don't enjoy reading passages like, "Randy! Mow the lawn now!" I enjoy hyphens more. Occasionally I'll use them in place of commas.

  • @cincyblows I like to use semi colons, hyphens, commas etc. When you start to read a lot of the old authors in literature you kind of get a feel for how to use all the techniques. I hate using contractions like, ''don't'' or ''wouldn't'', I think it is just lazy writing, not to formal.

  • @07Aristotle Formal writing is fine, but please don't feel that you have to limit yourself to prescriptive grammar. Language is a wonderful entity. It finds limitless ways to express itself.

  • @cincyblows you sound like a fucking British prick

  • @CytotoxicTrev,

    It's $5 Footlongs at Subway! This month's featured sub is the Italian BMT.

    Are you filled with some sort of peroxidase enzyme? Is that why you're cytotoxic?

    .

  • I need Subs

  • @teamcrumb, is fame that important?

    What did David Hinkley think about it?

    Have you ever watched "The King of Comedy"?

  • What an ugly motherfucker.

    He looks like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew from the old Muppet Show.

    He sounds like a gay, French Ted Kocinski.

  • @gj7l1O0ij49gq1l00O0l well, he was gay and french....so you're not a complete idiot.

  • @Debordsbullet .....so you don't undurstand philosophy.

  • @Debordsbullet well, perhaps not like you. I could see how youd draw that conclusion based on my 12 word response to another comment.

  • He looks crazy enough to be a philosopher.

  • The way Foucault talks shows his earnest desire to impart people knowledge.

  • @fidellse Impart power, then. To who? "The people"? Why... Does he want liberation for the masses?

  • @S2Cents, What is wrong in saying that Foucault had a desire to impart us knowledge.Why because he did not believe in it or he questioned the power relations involved in it? I do not find anything wrong in it. I am sure Foucault did not believe in Nihilism. Why did he write those books if not to 'educate' us about structures of power? Certainly, knowledge creates power and vice-versa.

  • @fidellse nothing.

  • UGLY bald frog motherfucker!

    Look at the worthless geek motherfuckers in this video clip...This is what happens when males have low testosterone levels -- they morph into Woody Allen clones and masturbate to thoughts and images of other men's asses.

    You fuckers need to jam your (Anthony) Weiners into a girls pussy!!

    You'll NEVER know the pleasure.

    Losers.

  • @g17y5wb he wrote books about the history of sexuality and got plenty. He's not ugly. YOU will NEVER KNOW fame and will be forgotten when you die. FOUCAULT raging brain and libido lives forever!

  • Learn French! There are a lot of free online lessons, so please cierren el hocico about your English subtitles.

  • Not everyone wants to learn French for a 2 minute clip...thats why we have 'translators'.

  • His philosophy seems to be a justification/psychologization for his homosexuality (which I don't mind him being). Can all philosophy not be reduced to an attempt to understand one's sole emotional state of affairs?

  • @stefandetrez

    Not all philosophy can be reduced to such attempt.

  • Can you provide an example. I understand it's difficult to find psychologization in the philosophy of chemistry, but I also think it is the philosophical wonder and dissatisfaction that needs to be cleared out rationally.

  • The French did not provide English subtitles intentionally.

    This version entitled "Foucault on Bachelard (with English Subtitles)" has English subtitles.

  • @Thronsohn Lol, you don't seem to be the kind of guy listening to foucalt...

  • @Thronsohn This clearly show what you are... Neo Nazi... craving to have your a... fucked... but can't afford to come out of the closet....

  • ¿Por qué inglés??? je aime francais

  • More or less he's saying: "What is most surprising to me with Bachelard, is that he plays against his own culture, with his own culture, ... by reading everything and playing everything against everything... he traps his own culture, with these interstices, deviations and and minor phenomena, cracks and false notes that one can find."

  • gosh darn how bout an english translation

  • "Longévité d’une imposture – Michel Foucault,

  • Where's the rest of the interview?

  • he seems to be such a fun guy :))

  • I studied Business as undergraduate, one day I was in the library and I came across a book titled Discipline and Punishment. Some how I began to read it, I did not understand the book in its entiry but over the years I read more Foucault. I soon discovered that Philosophy was my calling, like Foucault once said, "I don't know if Philosphy exists, but I do know that ther are Philosophers."

  • As heterosexual Chicano I would of have loved to meet this bald little french man. I was born in 1982, Foucault died in 84. Philosophy does not come into our own mind and existence until we discover it for our own selfs. Think of how Hegel, Kant, Socrates existed before we ourselves existed and they where grappling with philosophical problems before we where born. Many human beings live their entire lives without ever knowing that theses men existed.

  • @elmasloco15

    Foucault is a moron compared to chomsky. Once again, the French lose

  • @SUpersaiyajinjerkbag The two had very distinct purposes, Foucault wanted to transcend nature while Chomsky wanted to move on to more important issues like Vietnam and Corporate Imperialism. I dont agree with Foucault being a moron but I respect your opinion. I do recognize that Foucault was eccentric but that was his whole point, "Don't ask who I am and don't tell me to stay the same".

  • @elmasloco15

    No, Frenchies prefer BS. Which is I like the great Ayn Rand. As you can see, BS just doesn't pass in the US inlike france

  • @SUpersaiyajinjerkbag

    lol @ anyone who thinks Rand wasn't utter bupkis. Both Foucault and Rand ripped off most of their philosophies from Nietzsche. The difference between them (which also makes Foucault an undoubtedly better philosopher than Rand) is that Foucault actually understood Nietzsche.....

  • @blackflagisbetter

    Uh, no; Hegel was the predominant influecen on objectivism. Quit bashing the fine arts that you do not understand, frenchie!!

  • @elmasloco15 I don't know what Foucault being French has anything to do with todays political environment. Foucault is very simple to understand. If you allow his nationality undermine your own understanding about Foucault then it is pure ignorance.

  • google "the sokal affair" and be enlightened.

  • Please can someone translate it in english

  • Foucault is a pseudo-intellectual.

  • he couldn't afford Viagra so poor Foucault was left with pendulum.

  • hey me puedes colaborar con la traduccion de este video o me puedes dar el sitio para bscar videos de foucault....gracias......

  • Est-ce-qu'il possible pour quelqu'un poster les sous-titres de cette vidéo.

    (S'il vous plaît corriger mon Fraincais aussi. Je suis encore à apprendre le francais...)

  • ¡No sé francés! ¡Subtítulos en español! ¡Urgente!

  • En anglais si'il vous plait!

  • @georgebur , search this video on "dotSUB"...

  • @georgebur French ppl speaks "french", so...LEARN French!

  • @georgebur Roughly translated ... Foucault says that Bachelard questions and undermines our accepted intellectual / cultural values , as embodied in our formation of a cultural canon ( those considered to be truely great and worth studying ) , by appraising those perceived as minor or relatively insignificant . The contradiction being that Bachelard upholds the same idea of the necessity of upholding a cultural canon in doing so .

  • @pedagogyagent I wish I could understand this but thank you for the rough translation. It is through the creation of a high culture that we are supposed to find truths that are granted to us by the elites that created our high culture. The people we should fear most grant credibility only to the ideas that foster a world that is better for them.

  • for some reason foucalt french gives me a headache

  • GIMMME ENGLISH SUBTITLES. FRENCH IS SO OBNOXIOUS SOUNDING

  • @SUpersaiyajinjerkbag You think english sounds better? ha!

  • @OBSysteme

    Yes. English sounds much more logical and smooth . French sounds crass yet effeminate at the same time. Like the French.

  • @SUpersaiyajinjerkbag English is the lowest common denominator, its advantage is its simplicity, that is why the world easily add english as a skill and most native anglophones have problems crawling out of their monoliguistic state.

    You might think that French sounds effeminate, well, they do call it the language of love, that culture does know how to deal with women, sensuality, sexuality, VS anglo-saxons culture where sex is a giggling teen affair (UK) or a porno rape scene (US industry).

  • @OBSysteme So simplicity in language is, in your view, a bad thing? I would take it then that you also think that a language should be difficult to learn and speak?

  • @HighPriestofLemuria Simplycity has its advantages and that is why English is coming the "de facto" language of the world... you don't learn english, you catch it.

    However, richer languages work better to convey all the detailed nuances of this complex world, as well as the far reaches of human emotion.

    Don't get me wrong, English has things going for it, but I can't help myself everytime I see one of its proponents piss on richer languages... call it a reflex.

  • @OBSysteme There's a consciousness of words, so words of consciousness. If simplicity is a major fact of those words, the expression of consciousness can only be simple to and reduced, we humans, definitely think with words to describe a feeling. But "more the feeling can be described, more it can be understood" is quite wrong, cause a feeling can only be described not really conveyed, it doesn't cope with words. So porno industry is not really linked with a language. Non ?

  • @OBSysteme Oh sorry I missed a thing when i read your words about porno industry, you're right, sorry.

  • @OBSysteme I would agree, but English has the propensity to absorb words from other languages, so I would argue that what nuance it does not contain now, it will one day inherit from those other languages, without adding also unnecessary complexity which may be more a cultural artifact of the speakers of those languages than anything else. One of the blessings of the internet may be that we come to all speak a language with all the nuances of life and none of the unnecessary complexities.

  • @HighPriestofLemuria You make a good point there.

  • @SUpersaiyajinjerkbag As to your statement that french sounds "Crass".... the most funny thing I've read this week. ; )

  • Michel Foucault = Star trek

  • Noooo!!! I don't know any french. subtitles would thanked: english, spanish or even the same french (I could catch at least some words).

  • @Lovejapon Bonne question mais je n'ai pas de réponse. :)

  • @Lovejapon sûrement plus que cette reflexion idiote !

  • According to Foucault it was the burgouis protestants who introduced strict regulations on citizens sex-life, even within marriage. I catholic countries one allows more alternative sex and perversions as long as it remain hidden and married couples are more or less left alone. Foucault writes that protestant countries are ruled by hysteria. One can draw a parallel to sex scandals and extramarital affairs of today.

  • In protestant nothern europe the sinners are demonified and must endure an enornomous media coverage. In catholic southern europe they are portrayed as naughty children and clowns and laughed at, and then case closed. Foucault explains that nothern europeans still have a tribal mentality. One members faulty move could endanger the entire tribe. Therefore this curiosity about what others are doing, in and out of bed and personal vendetta against any tribal-taboo-breakers.

  • Jag fattar inte vad han sägeeeeeeeer

  • Foucault continued to have unsafe sex in bathhouses after learning he had AIDS. He intentionally infected others with the AIDS virus. This was a very disturbed man. Is this really someone whose views on truth and knowledge you want to follow?

  • @rhino79 Maybe it helps to think of it as if Rome was burning. End of the empire, party while you still have 5 minutes.

    Besides, I would have sex with Foucault under any conditions, whether he had HIV or not. Theoretically, at least.

  • @rhino79 LOL what a desperate and lame attempt at character assassination . its so damned transparent. in the olden days if a women got pregnant and she blamed the man they used to say " it takes two to tango"

  • @rhino79 Although you have an interesting point here. Wouldn't it be better if we could separate the man of his personal life? He did produce great literature. That's definitely a recognized truth.

  • @rhino79 uh, didn't a fellow poststructualist theorist say that we should "kill the author" while reading their texts? This would be like dismissing Althusser because he was mentally unstable and later killed his wife...

  • To clarify this point, it can be seen that the psychoanalytical notion that there is something which exists in parallel to human extrication such as “wildness” or “madness” in the Foucaltian sense of the word exists only where such possibilities of “discipline and punish” are looked for in the world as real and relevant.

  • brilliant!

  • Can anybody quote be page 143 of The Order of Things (in full)? I have sold my copy on and lost the note references !!

    I understand this is a hefty scanning or typing ordeal, but for those reasons it would be appreciated all the more. Merce.

  • OK guys...

    It's only a 2mn video : sum up in your own words what your master says about Bachelard, culture, the use of HIS culture, great names and confidential mames... and send them to me.

    ...

    thank you

    ...

    waow : 365 475 different versions !

    for a 2mn video

  • I wish I either knew french or this had subtitles.

  • Hands up - I for one have no idea what he's saying in this video.

    I wish someone would subtitle it.

  • @callsobrook

    Don't worry. Nobody does. "We" just have to drink his words and worship him...

  • someone subtitle this please.

  • La manière dont on imagine est souvent plus instructive que ce qu'on imagine.

    Gaston Bachelard

  • What a fucking fag!

  • @tothatextent Such an intellectually stimulating comment!

  • @ihatekhomeini Why would a statement have to be intellectually stimulating when describing a useless and pompous homosexual? Foucault was as far off base of the truth as you could possibly get. He was worshiped by a bunch of third-rate idiots who considered him an intellectual messiah. Liberalism and critical thinking at its' absolute worse - which is saying a lot.

  • @tothatextent Just because you don't understand any of his writing doesn't mean he was far off. He was not a liberal thinker, and people never perceived him as an intellectual messiah (maybe a group of French and American thinkers did, but not academics in general).

  • @ihatekhomeini You are so narrow-minded.

  • @tothatextent Have you even read any of his writing? You don't seem like a person that reads.

  • @ihatekhomeini Oh, I have read his shit. It reminded me of spending a day at the city dump looking for peanuts in diapers.

  • @tothatextent If you can get that experience from reading Foucault you certainly have a messed up mind. I highly doubt you have read him, and you don't seem capable of doing it either. I bet you read Hayek and listen to Limbaugh while looking for peanuts in diapers.

  • @tothatextent By the way, I'm sorry for the last comment. I realise now that I am acting just like yourself. If you don't like Foucault, that's fine by me. I was just offended by your comment, and now I see that I should not be.

  • @ihatekhomeini So pompus and self-righteous. Why would reading a book seem so beyond the reach of someone like me? Anybody can get a book these days, the library has free ones you know. As far as listening to Limbaugh is concerned; no I do not. And, I don't even know who this Hayek person is of whom you speak. However, I do read Bloom - Allan not Judy. You might want to get your ass over to the library and read some of his books. He talks about people like you in them.

  • @tothatextent And calling Foucault a faggot that has no clue is not pompus? But now that you mention Allan Bloom as a writer I see why you have such a view about Foucault. He never managed to understand anything after Nietszche (Not that he understood him either) and spent his entire life complaining about relativism, but never came with a solution other than the pursuit of glory and Socratic ideals. If anything, he is pompus and self-tighteous.

  • @tothatextent I also mentioned Friedrich Hayke because I assumed, since you attacked Foucault (wrongly) of being a liberalist, that you where a "conservative." As for me reading Bloom, I am not interested in classics or rants about American pop-music.

  • @ihatekhomeini So, what do you think is so great about Foucault? In a nutshell; all he talks about is that people are constained in their thoughts by the parameters that society builds around them - there really is no original thought according to Foucault. Anyone can figure that out.

  • @tothatextent If anyone can figure that out, then we would not have those who claim, like your friend Bloom, that there is universal knowledge, or that there are ways in which we can define a future without being constrained by the socio-economic situation that we find ourselves in. What I find interesting in Foucault is his writing on identity and power relations, and I am also interested in his perspectives (although I don't agree with him) on language. I can't sum him up in a comment.

  • @tothatextent What I don't get is how you think you are know more than most scholars in the humanities (F. is among the most cited writers). If that is not pompous than I don't know what is.

  • @ihatekhomeini What really is ironic; is that I am advocating Foucault's teacings in my views and you, on the other hand, are an example of a person that Foucalt would refer to as 'constrained' - in your views. Your reasoning that Foucalt is 'great' is because he has the admiration of other scholars. This society would instill upon us that if someone has the respect of the academics - that person must be enlightened.

  • Mais avec le fromage, il faut du vin rouge!

  • J'adore son esprit brillant.

    Si vous ne pouvez pas le comprendre apprendre le francais.

  • i wish it had subtitles.

  • I totally agree. Don't understand a word but the world misses him..

  • Cannot speak French but loved watching him and hearing him chat. Such a birlliant mind and lovely man. The world is a better place for him.

  • Tu pourrais nous dire en deux mots ce qui t'exaspère chez lui?

  • lol t'es bien drôle, mais stupide.

  • I wish I could understand what he says, you are luckier than I just for that reason.

  • It's a good feeling to be doing a paper you know you will still remember in five years' time - I got to know Foucault the same way this summer. It's the sort of thing that happens too rarely.
