Probing Into The Poeticity Core Of Foucault's Thought

Foucault submitted a feast of thought for this era.His research fields are diverse,the perspectives are novel and the conclusions are unique.He has always maintained the rebellious posture,constantly questioning and doubting.He attacked rationality,knowledge,morality and power,which disintegrated the foundation of the construction of western rationalism culture in modern times.It is not hard to realize that Foucault's critical actions have an inherent defense.This defense is the poetic existence of life itself beyond the rational definition.The paper clarifies this from three aspects.One is the defense of the irrational spirit.Foucault oppugned the authority of rationalism.By examining the history of madness,Foucault revealed the status of irrationality as a kind of psychic being forgotten.Foucault saw art speak for irrationality,and used the power of art to impact the western rational knowledge system.The second is non-qualitative adherence to people.Foucault denied the concept of continuity history,and then declared that the person constructed by modern episteme would eventually come to an end and a new experience would be born.Foucault affirmed the non-qualitative of nature of human life and rejected the definition of man shaped from the perspective of modern science and humanistic context.Third,the call for survival Aesthetics.Foucault found the way of human poetic existence in the ancient Greek motto "care for yourself".This is an artistic way of being.Foucault's aesthetics of survival calls for the experiences of transgression.Foucault's life-long ideological work aimed to break the conventional definition of rationality and irrationality.He paid attention to the real life experience of human beings,and criticized the dictatorship of scientific rationality.He appealed to the poetic existence of freedom of man,and criticized the discipline of power over man.He analyzed modern cognitive models and knowledge structures with the method of Archaeology and Genealogy in order to seek a path to connect with the human authentic life experience.Foucault's ideological path is a path full of the intension of poeticity idea.His solution to modern living state is also a solution based on poetic survival.Furthermore,the field of discourse of Foucault's thought itself envelops a lyric-like core,his mode of discourse also signifies a certain romantic and lyrical temperament...
