: : rainer, you offer a curious reading of
: foucault in kantian terms, one that i have not
: heard before. now do you really believe that
: foucaultian institutions are a priori in the
: sense that kant intended? and then althusser's
: ISA's?
: well, they are a priori to the subject as a
: social entity, conditioned and socially constructed:
: but this is it. (and rembember: even with Kant
: it is not clear, where the a priori categories
: can be located... if... - he didn't want to be
: read in a purely psychological way)
: and Althusser's state apparatus? - they of course
: are there by now (and I hope they keep being there)
: but not all institutions have to be by the state -
: literature, even the internet is also an 'institution'
