Document MICHEL FOUCAULT – FRITZ MORGENTHALER: HOMOSEXUALITY AND FREEDOM, FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOANALYSIS Martin Heinze, Berlin, Germany To get a handle on the problems we are dealing with here, we need a philosophy of history and of the mind. But it would be too strict of us to demand fully developed principles when speaking philosophically about politics. By studying events we learn to recognize what we find unacceptable, and this interpreted experience then becomes thesis and philosophy.

Originally delivered in the lecture series ‘Homosexuality and Science’ before the ‘Schwulenreferat’ at the Free University of Berlin, 4 July 1991, and published in JOURNAL (Psychoanalytisches Seminar Zürich), no. 25 (December 1991), pp. 51–64.
