Foucault on the soul: "the element in which are articulated the effects of a certain type of power and the reference of a certain type of knowledge, the machinery by which the power relations give rise to a possible corpus of knowledge, and knowledge extends and reinforces the effects of this power." Rageboy: "Granted, this view smacks strongly of the postmodern. As it should; that's the point. These writers of prescriptions who turn back the clock thinking no one will notice, who invoke moral/ethical categories as if they were as obvious as shoes and sunshine, end up addressing serious matters in a way that cannot be taken seriously. And the kids know it."
