Greetings, listfolks.
On page 74 of _Mental Illness and Psychology_, Foucault writes that
"Psychology" is merely a thin skin on the surface of the ethical
world in which modern man seeks his truth--and loses it. Nietzsche,
who has been accused of saying the contrary, saw this very clearly.
I'm assuming that the Nietzsche Foucault has in mind here is the one of
the _Genealogy of Morals_, but does anyone know if F. has a more specific
reference in mind here? And also, to whom F. might be referring when he
speaks of "accusing Nietzsche of sayign the contrary?"
Much thanks,
