Re: Foucault and AIDS

Matthew,

Thanks for this reply, but I know what the subject/OBJECT distinction is,
and sure there is a very powerful critique of it in Sein und Zeit. Foucault
is, as I've said a number of times on this list, very Heideggerian at times.

My question was about the subject/ABJECT distinction, mentioned in Tanya's
mail.

Happy New Year

Stuart
