Man is a thinking being. The way he thinks is related to society, politics, economics, and history and is also related to very general and universal categories and formal structures. But thought is something other than societal relations.
Michel FoucaultOne cannot attend to oneself, take care of oneself, without a relationship to another person.
Michel FoucaultWhat strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?
Michel FoucaultMy point is not that everything is bad, but that everything is dangerous, which is not exactly the same as bad.
