Michel Foucault Quotes About Reality

Quotes about: Reality

• Withdraw allegiance from the old categories of the Negative (law, limit, castration, lack, lacuna), which the Western thought has so long held sacred as a form of power and an access to reality. Prefer what is positive and multiple, difference over uniformity, flows over unities, mobile arrangements over systems. Believe that what is productive is not sedentary but nomadic.

  Michel Foucault

  Believe, Reality, Law

• The imaginary is not formed in opposition to reality as its denial or compensation; it grows among signs, from book to book, in the interstice of repetitions and commentaries; it is born and takes shape in the interval between books. It is the phenomena of the library.

  Michel Foucault

  Book, Reality, Imagination

  Michel Foucault (1998). “Aesthetics, Method, and Epistemology”, p.106, The New Press

• Politics and the economy are not things that exist, or illusions, or ideologies. They are things that do not exist and yet which are inscribed in reality and fall under a regime of truth dividing the true and the false.

  Michel Foucault

  Fall, Reality, Illusion
