hi there

it was first published in french in:
"Le sex comme une moral" in: Le nouvel Observateur, No. 1021, Paris, June

said in an interview with F. by Hubert Dreyfus and Paul Rabinowich


> "Well, I wonder if our problem nowadays is not, in a way, similar

>personal, private life. Recent liberation movements suffer from the fact
>that they cannot find any principle on which to base the elaboration of a
