Paper Summary:
This paper first explains Foucault's general position that authorities and institutions should not be what determine the truth or reality for others. The paper then explains that it is from this perspective that Foucault considers the question of identity, subjectivity, sex and power in the world. The paper further explains Foucault's emphasis that authentic truth is that which is not established or forced on the individual and that he approaches and questions gender and sexually in the same light.From the Paper:
"In an interview conducted in 1982, Stephen Riggins asked Foucault about the role of the philosopher in society. Foucault answered that "It is absolutely true that when I write a book I refuse to take a prophetic stance, that is, the one of saying to people: here is what you must do-and also: this is good and this is not". (Hendricks C.)"More papers on Michel Foucault:
