Quotes of the Day

Je dirais que la première chose qu'on devrait apprendre – si ça a un sens d'apprendre quelque chose comme ça – , c'est que le savoir est tout de même profondément lié au plaisir, qu'il y a certainement une façon d' érotiser le savoir, de rendre le savoir hautement agréable. Que l'enseignement ne soit pas capable même de révéler cela, que l'enseignement ait presque pour fonction de montrer combien le savoir est déplaisant, triste, gris, peu érotique, je trouve que c'est un tour de force.

— Michel Foucault

The first thing one should learn – that is, if it makes any sense to learn such a thing – is that learning is profoundly bound up with pleasure. Certainly, learning can be made an erotic, highly pleasurable activity. Now, that a teacher should be incapable of revealing this, that their job should virtually consist of showing how unpleasant, sad, dull and unerotic learning is – to me, this is an incredible achievement.

— Michel Foucault

第一件该学的事——如果这话有意义的话——就是：知识与快乐有着深刻的联系。必然存在一种使知识带有情色性的方式，使知识本身变得高度愉悦。而教育之所以几乎完全无法展示这一点——甚至似乎其功能就是要展示知识是乏味的、悲伤的、灰暗的、非情色的——这真是一种奇技淫巧。

—— 米歇尔 · 福柯

Excerpt from Foucault's 1975 interview on Radioscopie. Retrieved from L'idée libertaire, Foucault Live: Collected Interviews 1961–1984, and Xiaohongshu. Shared by Estelle Zhang.

It is [the responsibility] of the institution of education to catalyze social progress and social liberties. The tyranny of the prevailing opinion of the masses shall not be exacerbated by institutional tyranny; and if institutional tyranny in the form of government persists, it is not the role of educators to reinforce them.
