Apologies for the late catch up.
Thanks Kev / Chet for the feedback, i haven't read The Logic of Sense so
it's definitely not the case.
My only source of Alice's mention by Foucault is James Harkness' translation
of "this is not a pipe"; I have talked with few professors but none have
read the original french text of History of Sexuality and thus the
curiosity. :)
I was wondering if anyone here has read the original french version and
could comment on James Harkness' observations?
Regards,
