I personally love postmodern philosophy, and philosophy in general, so as of recent I got this book about Foucault's interviews, his writings, and more all around the concept of power, if anyone is interested in Foucault too or just reading in general, how is this book? It's kinda boring seeing philosophers just sorta talk about stuff, but I also feel like I'm gaining a bit more insight by reading interviews and such some more, not sure how to explain it

>>7584 Insight isn't a good word to be honest lol, but what else should I read then? I've read some of Foucault's stuff so far and I personally like his stuff so far

everythings a social construct, nothing is real its all just made up symbols for representing a greater incomprehensible reality beyond mans grasp. To call something a social construct is no dismissal of it, we made them for a reason. Look into Chestertons fence, Nietzsches evaluation of beliefs based on the fitness they provide rather than their actual truth they describe, and dawkins chapter about memes in the selfish gene.

a ação é a união da potência com o cúmulo da consciência manifest em la voluntad. a força é uma determinação da potência medida pelos seus efeitos sob uma ótica // falta linguagem para completar esta frase, com ctz a matematica tem. O poder em contraponto é a unificação de forças por um fator, que, enquanto faz parte da totalidade, é apenas uma parte pero tem uma influência guiadora sobre esta totalidade. // I'm lost and I suck at this
