Foucault. Language. Truth.Abstract
This work proposes a reflection about Michel Foucault’s place of speech, since he denied philosophy, social science or history as his territories. I suggest that such denials might be connected to the dissociation made by Foucault between language and truth. Foucault believed that the infinite nature of language would erase any system of reference. To speak about things would produce, therefore, a distance, which would be, itself, fiction. I conclude arguing that Foucault might be better understood not from possible fixed positionings, but in his incessant and purposeful shifts.
