Foucault

Satyriasis and nymphomania – the male and female extremes of overpowering sexual desire

enkrateia – mastery of oneself to become a moral subject.

chresis – the use and management of sexual activity.

Homo oeconomicus is the human being who spends, wears out, and wastes his life in evading the imminence of death.

“Archaeology”, as the investigation of that which renders necessary a certain form of thought, implies an excavation of unconsciously organized sediments of thought.

For Foucault, the only way for madness to live “in itself”, outside of authoritarian reason, is through art and philosophy.

The world that thought to measure and justify madness through psychology must justify itself before madness – before the excess of works like those of Artaud, Van Gogh and Nietzsche.

Psychologists are incapable of coherently defining the object of their study. Psychology is composite empiricism, codified in literary fashion for teaching purposes – and it’s a police discipline.
