Which 20th century theorist are you?

[altariel]

Pinched from cathexys. I'm very pleased with this, not just because of the answer, but because the last two quizzes I've done, I've come out as Hitler and Ezra Pound, and given that Heidegger was an option in this quiz, I could have ended up with a horrific Nazi threesome :-(



You are Michel Foucault! You wrote groundbreaking
histories of prisons, hospitals, asylums, and
sex. Interestingly, you thought basically the
same thing about all of them. Your historical
accuracy is a bit dodgy, but that was never
really the point. You were very obsessed with
power roles - so obsessed that you frequented
gay S&M clubs, and died of AIDS in 1984.

;-) And it's also my first success in putting text onto a graphic. I'm feeling very proud of myself.

You really do have to watch some Blake's 7!

Glad you like the icon!

I'm another Lacan, whoever he was..... never read any philosophers later than Plato.

I think it all goes a bit downhill after Plato. I don't know much about Lacan, apart from impenetrability.

I got Lacan...
