and experience wrote on them, we would be
very impoverished creatures indeed,
so the obvious hypothesis is that our language
is the result of the unfolding
of a genetically determined programme.
Well, plainly there are different languages.
In fact, the apparent variation of languages
is quite superficial.
It's certain - as certain as anything else is -
that humans are not genetically programmed
to learn one or another language.
So, you bring up a Japanese baby in Boston,
and it'll speak Boston English.
You bring up my child in Japan,
it'll speak Japanese.
And that means that... From that it fol...
from that it simply follows by logic
that the basic structure of the languages
must be essentially the same.
Our task as scientists is to try to determine
exactly what those fundamental principles are
that cause the knowledge of language to unfold
in the manner in which it does
under particular circumstances.
Incidentally,
I think there is no doubt the same must be true
of other aspects of human intelligence,
and systems of understanding
and interpretation,
and moral and aesthetic judgement, and so on.
The implications of these views
have washed over the fields of psychology,
education, sociology, philosophy,
literary criticism, and logic.
In the '50s and '60s
the bridge between your theoretical work
and your political work seems to have been
the attack on behaviourism,
but now behaviourism is no longer an issue,
or so it seems,
so how does this leave the link
between your linguistics and your politics?
Well, I've always regarded the link... I've never...
really perceived much of a link,
to tell you the truth.
Again, I would be very pleased to be able to
discover intellectually convincing connections
between my own anarchist convictions
on the one hand,
and what I think I can demonstrate,
about the nature of human intelligence
on the other.
But I simply can't find intellectually satisfying
connections between those two domains.
I can discover some tenuous points of contact.
FOUCAUL:
If it is correct, as I believe it is,
that a fundamental element of human nature
is the need for creative work,
...for free creation without the...
...arbitrary, limiting effects of coercive
institutions,
then of course it will follow that a decent society
should maximise the possibilities
for this fundamental human characteristic
to be realised.
Now, a federated, decentralised...
...system of free associations incorporating
economic as well as social institutions
would be what I refer to as
anarcho-syndicalism,
and it seems to me that
it is the appropriate form of social organisation
