In Michel Foucault's works, both life and thinking are an experience of limit. This statement can be further explicated as follows: first, both of them exist only on the limit. Second, both of them are a complicated operation of the limit. Third, limit, as an absence which makes absence possible (abscence absentant), a double absence, is an absolute fiction; it is nevertheless the material of life and thinking. Fourth, life and thinking, when spread on the limit, can be outside the omnipresent Power because the limit does not exist anywhere; as a double absence, it exists in an absolute "non-lieu," a pure hétérotopie. Fifth, the Foucaldian formula "being and thinking are identical" is thus built (and can only be built) on this limit marked by non-thinking. Precisely speaking, it is the folding operation of the limit, defined here as an infinite or indefinite hetero-topology about the finitude. |
