>>24993427>psychiatry has always been a pseudoscience and a form of social powerHe really only "reveals" the second part. What's good in Foucault (the historical analysis) is showing diferent way in which social power has developed in myriad spheres of society. Whether or not these are "good" is an entirely different matter thoughever. Of course Foucault is angling for a 'prison abolitionist' position in Discipline & Punish for example, it's not like there's an actual argument within the book towards that position besides moralizing quips bookending the main historical accounting within the work.

I have a feeling that a lot of what Freud has written, like Foucault, is taken for granted.
>>24994892>>Your lasting legacy is that people think you're a weirdo at best and a shifty, coke-addicted Jew who wants to personally fuck his own mother at worst.That's just the popular perception, who cares about that?

>>24994892Lasting legacy of Freud is producing pseuds like you. He was wrong on everything he didn't take from others, the reason he fell off with Jung(himself a crook too) was because the latter managed to track down one of his "successfully cured" patients and discovered she wasn't.Modern psychology treats psychoanalysis as the thing you direct a rich patient who can't be helped to. He won't be helped either but psychoanalytic who's leading his therapy will piggyback enormous amount of money he'll siphon from the poor sod to the local psychological association.I think the funniest anecdote about Freud was that after years of trying he decided there's no cure for bed wetting. Behavioural therapy for it takes up to 8 weeks.
>>24995289>I got Discipline and Punish, and it was a weird experience. It starts with some interesting history of western prison systems, but slowly degrades into borderline schizophrenia. Is it worth pushing through and seeing what his ideas are all about?His big idea in that book is that rehabilitative justice, far from being humanitarian progress, is actually just a different form of social power. Prior to the 19th century, socio-political power was administered by means of public spectacles of violence. We've dispensed with that, and that might be a good thing, but we're mistaken to think that the rehabilitative model which replaced it is simply a benign, altruistic work to help prisoners. Foucault interprets it largely as a kind of psychological manipulation which makes inmates docile and grooms them into permanent prisoners. He picks this theme up at length in his later work, Psychiatric Power, if you want to get a different perspective on it.
>>24994793>He was a cut above the rest>https://newcriterion.com/article/the-perversions-of-m-foucault/This entire article is vapid trash, but I wanted to point out one particularly fallacious section.>It is pretty clear, in any event, what Foucault himself thought. As he put it in Volume 1 of The History of Sexuality, “The Faustian pact, whose temptation has been instilled in us by the deployment of sexuality, is now as follows: to exchange life in its entirety for sex itself, for the truth and the sovereignty of sex. Sex is worth dying for.”The author seems to be suggesting that Foucault recommends trading life for sex. Foucault's entire point in the history of sexuality is exactly the opposite. Foucault's argument is that the culture of psychoanalysis (through Freud) has tricked us into believing that the only point of life is sex and to live our lives as psychoanalytic subjects who are constantly surveilling and monitoring our mind for sexual thoughts and then confessing them to psychotherapists. His thesis is literally the exact opposite of what the author is claiming. In the quoted passage, Foucault is not expressing his own views, but criticizing the rigid assumptions of psychoanalysis

He devotes that book to asserting that a particular concept or regime of sex was created in modernity which he takes issue with. Other concepts of sex (call it the pleasures of the flesh or the ethic of sex or whatever) which he believed governed other societies or could be created in our own are not a problem he thinks and he clearly thought that one should devote one's life to it. His life centered around getting fisted by strange men. Don't tell me that because he wasnt being "surveilled" by an analyst who tried to analyze the meaning of craving for fisting, that this wasn't a terminal sexual obsession.
>>24995854You consciously will you dreams every night?
>>24995865>will you dreamsSAAAAAAAARThe disconnection of the subconscious from the conscious and the creation of a combatative or separate identity known as the UNCONSCIOUS MIND is a fabrication. The self is the self is the self. Even Ancient Greek attempts at "dividing the soul" to explain these things was a massive error.
>>24995398I'm only reading Freud because I want to read a bunch of French intellectuals he influenced (like Foucault). I can't say whether or not I believe in what he says, but his theories are interesting to read about. I'm not trying to debate about it; I'm more interested in HOW psychology in its current incarnation responds to Freud than simply giving him short shrift.>managed to track down one of his "successfully cured" patients and discovered she wasn't.I don't know if you're talking about Dora, but if you are, I too would be doubtful that she was cured of romantic affections for someone else. Even so, Freud has mentioned the risk of the Ego and/or Libido regressing to previous infantile fixations as a result of external obstacles being too burdensome for the individual to handle and respond to maturely, so I don't think he'd make the grand claim to have "successfully cured" someone. Freud even confesses that there's no discernible therapeutic benefit from pscyho-analysis in understanding the etiology of neuroses:>There may be some of you who perhaps are friendly enough towards psycho-analysis, often attacked as it is, to wish that it would justify itself in another direction also, that is, therapeutically. You know that psychiatric therapy has hitherto been unable to influence delusions. Can psycho-analysis do so perhaps, by reason of its insight into the mechanism of these symptoms? No, I have to tell you that it cannot; for the present, at any rate, it is just as powerless as any other therapy to heal these sufferers. It is true that we can understand what has happened to the patient; but we have no means by which we can make him understand it himself. You have heard that I could not continue the analysis of this delusion beyond the first preliminaries. Would you then maintain that analysis of such cases is undesirable because it remains fruitless? I do not think so. It is our right, yes, and our duty, to pursue our researches without respect to the immediate gain effected. The day will come, where and when we know not, when every little piece of knowledge will be converted into power, and into therapeutic power. Even if psycho-analysis showed itself as unsuccessful with all other forms of nervous and mental diseases as with delusions, it would still remain justified as an irreplaceable instrument of scientific research.
>>24995869Maybe I have a soul and you don't.That's an ontological possibility and describes why we have a phenomenological experience.Or are you hoping that souls don't universally exist to make reality make sense to you?Otherwise, how the fuck is someone able to "change their own mind"?

>>24995906this.to say one has never been consciously affected by a dream (or a nightmare) is an absurd proposition to tell another human being.I'd claim that person was defective/subhuman for lacking such a common experience (even the blind are affected by their dreams).
>>24995918we also seem to forget that we spend 1/3 of our lives in the unconscious world.as if this is an insignificant % of our existence...
>>24995900>Maybe I have a soul and you don't.The point is you are your soul and to divide the two is the error.
>>24995931No. I just explained to you that you have multiple wills. This is a fact.You fight yourself to stay up and not go to sleep.You ignored your own will of your last New Years Resolution.You dismissed a nightmare as unreal and not of concern despite it touching on a personal truth.If you were just one will/soul, then how is it possible you have internal conflict? How are you able to "change yourself"?Again, I don't think you realize your own ontology is a composite of wills and the goal is to get them to all work together: your mind, your body, and your spirit.Otherwise you'll thrash about as a defective schizophrenic person thinking your will is "whole" (many such cases in humanity).
>>24995943There is only one will involved and your error comes from your belief in Free Will as opposed to accepting the truth of Determinism. There is only one will, and the idea of "multiple wills" is entirely unempirical, unproven, unscientific.>If you were just one will/soul, then how is it possible you have internal conflict?There is no contradiction here unless you're sneaking in a hidden premise that a Will can not deliberate and reflect on its actions, or the actions it will take. But the will ultimately makes one decision, and always only one decision.

Like it or not, society is advanced by assimilating the voices of outsiders who, due to their status, have an access to a detached bird's eye view of said society. Hence, the abundance of perverts, neuroatypicals, and deviants of any kind in philosophy, science, arts. Without them, we'd we be all living like Estonia: a stale static country where everyone is miserable and nothing ever changes; where the status quo - traditions and national identity - comes before food, water, basic necessities, living wage and health. /pol/'s paradise which, in reality, is hell on earth.There might be some connection between high intelligence and perversion. There's obviously one between high intelligence and homosexuality.

>>24996017normalizing sodomy and other perversions is itself very detrimental to these intelligent men then, which in turn deteriorates society. instead of letting them live freely to follow both their interests and passions, it lets normalfags who don't have anything else going for them take on their identity as a skinsuit because they don't have normal human identities to be proud of such as their religion or nation.that doesn't mean society must prioritize those above the necessities mind you, it merely means that those are just as needed for a functioning society as well in the long run if you wish to have both the masses and the intelligent sated. the masses however do need to be taught to separate a person from whatever ideas he may have, so as to better refute and debate the ideas and not merely conflate them as written personal biases.

New eels travel to places like European rivers and then return all the way back to Bermuda to mate.
Reminder: no one actually reads Foucault

>>24996749I haven't read all of Foucault's work - just Abnormal, Discipline and Punishment, History of Sexuality (vol. 1), and some articles by other academics here and there - but I don't remember Foucault justifying his degeneracy. I didn't even know Foucault was gay BDSM pederast until I started going on /lit/. I just assumed he was a standard but very influential philosopher.Foucault's main point, seems to be, is that nation states demand a certain normalization of their citizens for proper citizens. This leads to the creation of certain social norms and implementation of the social norms through institutions and techniques. In 4chan terms, think of this as the creation of the NPC hivemind, the normie, and the wage cuck slave.The people who don't fit the nation state behaviorally, psychologically, or sexually are labeled certain ways, given a false identity, and shunted away from the overall society and treated as potential source of danger. Through this, banal things as what makes your dick hard (appetites) and transient actions (like stealing) or idiosyncrasies of cognition (autism) are turned into identity markers that colour you a certain, not very good way, in the society at large. As a result, you're reduced from a person to certain label: criminal, thug, autist, schizo, homo.I don't see how this justifies his perversion. I suspect someone would have come to similar insights if Foucault didn't exist because they're historically obvious. And I don't think perverts use their intelligence to justify degeneracy. It just comes with high intelligence, for some genetic reason. I suspect many intelligent people struggle with it. If you actually read the article, you can see the implications that Foucault was actually driven by self hatred - suicide attempts and the BDSM fetish, which is sexually charged form of self harm, his search for experience that would take him out of his self - and that he actually struggled with this aspect of his personality. I think the most personal point behind Foucault's scholarship is not an attempt to justify perversion but to come to terms with own self. Why he's a homo? How did he become homo? Why does society treats him and the other homos the way it does? How does contemporary homosexuality differs from ancient perspectives and why does it differ?His research about the prison, hospital, and finally sexuality itself, follows the usual tropes that were applied to homosexuals: that they're criminals, mentally ill and, in the end, just homos. History of Sexuality seems to show a way out o this conundrum by implying that the concept of sexuality was introduced in the 19th century and created new identities that didn't exist before for the sake of sexual policing of the nation state. The problem wasn't being attracted to men, but the newly minted concept of homosexual and the associations that became attached to it, which were accepted by the straight society and the man lovers alike.
>>24993427Essentially, his queer theory presented a new kind of lineal and foundational framework for people to try and follow, not unlike the analytic discourse, however now we can look back and see what of the two remain relevant. I'm of the opinion that history will not consider Foucault to be much more than downstream of Lacan and Freud. Deleuze is better

The labeling taxonomy ( tranny, homo, gay, furry) is fundamentally wrong and creates fake identities and cultures out of fetishes. This process may do more harm than good.>hook into your workYou sound like a Rebecca Yarros fan.And implying that every /pol/ack isn't a degenerate pedo who'll fuck twelve year old girls given the chance.

The suffix "pseudo", in this context, is only ever used by hypocrites. All official infrastructure, in every imaginable field, is upheld by dogma and ego. I don't take seriously any argument that levies the claim of "pseudo" anything towards someone sharing a sentiment. If anything, almost every single time I have taken the contrarian side on this matter: I have benefited, so long as I avoid even the contrarian perspective's own egoistic or disingen nuances. You can gain innumerable depths of knowledge from taking into consideration all perspectives. That's not to say all perspectives are necessarily correct, but typically the people specifically labeled as "pseudo____" have more honest sentiments to share. You can't universally apply this argument, of course, but it has afforded me a much more open mind. In turn, it has afforded me invaluable insights and a more scrupulous approach to research.

>>24998896History of Sexuality vol. 1, is short and makes for a nice introduction to his style as the other anon said. It first rebuts the idea that sexuality was repressed and then became liberated through social progress. Foucault introduces a genealogical reading of the development of sexual discourse that maps its modern instantiation in the therapist's office onto the Catholic confessional of an earlier era. As you can see, it's quite relevant even today, because the so-called "repression hypothesis" has become a mainstay within progressive circles despite Foucault's critique.There's also a brief rebuttal directed towards Marxist interpretations of sexual history which helps to outline the strangely unique position Foucault occupied both then and now. The Overthink Podcast did a deep dive into the book recently, if you'd like to get another perspective.

Other concepts of sex (call it the pleasures of the flesh or the ethic of sex or whatever) which he believed governed other societies or could be created in our own are not a problem he thinks and he clearly thought that one should devote one's life to it. His life centered around getting fisted by strange men. Don't tell me that because he wasnt being "surveilled" by an analyst who tried to analyze the meaning of craving for fisting, that this wasn't a terminal sexual obsession.Foucault doesn't play any word games. This is a point made by hacks like Jordan Peterson, who have never read one of his books. Foucault's entire point in the history of sexuality is that the culture of confession in the Catholic Church was a form of social power in which one was degraded by being forced to reveal the details of his sexual life. Foucault then argues that this same form of social power was internalized and to such an extent that people willingly recapitulated it in the form of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is essentially the same form of social power that the Catholic Church created but implemented in a new secular way.
