Do Not Ask Who I Am And

There Are More Ideas On Earth Than Intellectuals Imagine. And These Ideas Are More Active, Stronger, More Resistant, More Passionate Than "politicians" Think. We Have To Be There At The Birth Of Ideas, The Bursting Outward Of Their Force: Not In Books Expressing Them, But In Events Manifesting This Force, In Struggles Carried On Around Ideas, For Or Against Them. Ideas Do Not Rule The World. But It Is Because The World Has Ideas (and Because It Constantly Produces Them) That It Is Not Passively Ruled By Those Who Are Its Leaders Or Those Who Would Like To Teach It, Once And For All, What It Must Think.

Relations Of Power "are Indissociable From A Discourse Of Truth, And They Can Neither Be Established Nor Function Unless A True Discourse Is Produced, Accumulated, Put Into Circulation, And Set To Work. Power Cannot Be Exercised Unless A Certain Economy Of Discourses Of Truth Functions In, On The Basis Of, And Thanks To, That Power."

What I Seek Is A Permanent Opening Of Possibilities.

Confession Frees, But Power Reduces One To Silence; Truth Does Not Belong To The Order Of Power, But Shares An Origincal Affinity With Freedom: Traditional Themes In Philosophy, Which A Political History Of Truth Would Have To Overturn By Showing That Truth Is Not By Nature Free--nor Error Servile--but That Its Production Is Thoroughly Imbued With Relations Of Power. The Confession Is An Example Of This.
