Reading Foucault's Discipline and Punish. Can't get distracted. Oops, here I am again, getting distracted.

Why should Foucault's discipline be of interest? What discipline is it, by the way?

It's homework for class. It's a history and study of penology in the 17th and 18th century. It's what happens when a philosopher decides to write something legal, and ends up writing something that's neither artistic, philosophic, nor legalistic but rather is a composite of all three.

Actually, Vic, Foucault wrote a compendium of the history of sexuality; three volumes; you might get a kick seeing your last post.

Haven't read it myself but I hear it's better than what I'm reading of his right now

So you need some discipline to get it done or else you'll have to discipline yourself.

"Okay, what is this discussion supposed to be about as the originator stated that he was being satirical (comical, maybe)? Nothing? Wonderful. I just wasted a part of my life reading all this."

Oooh a writer objecting to an excuse for procrastination. Who'd a thunk it?

Lmao!
