For Jean-Paul Sartre, it was the
responsibility of each of us to
behave “as though the whole
human race had its eyes fixed
upon” everything we did. Shame
would keep us in line.
For Michel Foucault, human
existence was inherently
shameless. Those things we did 'in
private' for ourselves defined our
self’s others. All are th e 'T that
speaks. Following Sartre’s advice,
said Foucault, would mean
"despising oneself before being
able to recognize or to know
oneself.”

GERALDO,

It has been my experience that
folks who have no vices have
very few virtues.
