This is the first in a series of three lectures in which French philosopher Michel Foucault examines Western culture's conceptual development of individual subjectivity. He gave these lectures, in English, at UC Berkeley, beginning on April 12, 1983, roughly a year before he died. There are some negligable distortions in the tape.

  • I found his book "this is not a pipe" when I was 16 and have spent the rest of my life trying to figure out what the fuck this man is talking about. And I'm a better person for it.

  • @AnaLimaLuiza I don't think people see him so much as a genius as highly reliable and professional in his journalism.

    And Alex Jones isn't even close to Chomsky. Jones stirs up and feeds and peoples fears and modern anxiety. He is more like entertainment than a serious journalist.

  • @crud4 I'm scratching mine and Ive not even watched it yet. Thats the Power!

  • Everyone in the video is wearing glasses and 2/3 of them are scratching their chins as if to say "Hmmm....indeed..".

  • 2.34 intro guff ends.

  • @AnaLimaLuiza I disagree that Chomsky is helping the system even IF the case can be made that his activism and/or his analysis doesn't totally add up in every way

  • @S2Cents Totally agree. Surely Chomsky belongs to another group.

    The only problem is the way some Americans see him as a genius when he is not.

    He did some good alerts in the past but now, and I have checked with serious Americans scholars, he is not doing a god job and sometimes is helping the system.

  • @AnaLimaLuiza he's a step up from alex jones. seriously that isn't a fair comparison

  • @familliaraver Read Charles Sanders Pierce. "Collected Papers"

  • @AnaLimaLuiza Sorry, I don't read gibberish.
