Episode 5
Here I am introducing a new series where I will share, engage, discuss, and dialogue with thinkers that have shaped my life-outlook and identity. So, this is meant both as a kind of tribute and taking stock of things. In this video, I explain what my approach to the upcoming videos is going to be, best illustrated by the following Michel Foucault quote:
“I prefer to utilize the writers I like. The only valid tribute to a thought such as Nietzsche’s is precisely to use it, to deform it, to make it groan and protest. And if commentators then say that I am being faithful or unfaithful to Nietzsche, that is of absolutely no importance.”
-Michel Foucault, Power/Knowledge, 54-54.
