Abstract

Without legitimacy, words are invalid; invalid words lead man to nowhere’.(名不正则言不顺，言不顺则事不成。Mingbuzheng zhe yanbushun; yanbushun zhe shibucheng) Confucius (The Analects)‘Truth’ is to be understood as a system of ordered procedures for the production, regulation, distribution, circulation and operation of statement.‘Truth’ is linked in a circular relation with systems of power which produce and sustain it, and to effects of power which it induces and which extend it. A ‘regime’ of truth.Foucault (in Rabinow 1984: 74)
