I'm not referring so much to Arendt as the notion that there there are
mutually exclusive spaces in one's life (i.e. the pragmatic idea of living
one way in your private life and differently in the public sphere). Can we
separate Foucault's private sexual values from the values that he writes
about. It seems naive to say that Foucault's sexuality is automatically
separated from his public discourse. I'm certainly not sure what connection
there is, but I can't automatically rule it out. F's experience with
psychiatry helped to shape his attitude towards "madness" and their
"treatment."
