Michel Foucault Quotes

In Saying That The Truth Is Both Said And Not Said By The Philosopher (said And Not Said In The Form Of Stammering), Aristotle Was Still Close To The Methods Of Interpretation Used By Grammarians In Their Commentaries On The Poets. Symbolic Or Allegorical Methods Pointing Out What Was Deliberately Hidden By Homer Behind The Figure Of Nestor Or Ulysses.

But There Is A Difference However - And A Crucial One - Which Is That For Aristotle The Equivocation Of The Said And The Not-said, This Distance Without Gap Which Means That The Truth Is Both Hidden And Present In The Philosopher's Words, This Light That Is Shadow, Is Not The Effect Of An Oracular Kind Of Intentional Secret Or Prudent Reserve. If Philosophers Do Not Speak The Truth, This Is Not Because Their Indulgence Wishes To Protect Men From Its Terrible Face; It Is Because They Lack A Certain Knowledge (savoir).
