The late French postmodernist philosopher Michel Foucault is said to have sexually abused multiple young boys in Tunisia.
Guy Sorman, a French philosopher and economist, has posthumously accused Foucault of pedophilia and rape in his sexual relations with Arabic boys in the late 1960s.
According to The Times, Sorman said he had visited Foucault with a group of friends in 1969 and noticed how Foucault would pay young boys to meet up at a cemetery and have sex with him on people’s gravestones.
“Young children were running after Foucault saying, ‘What about me? Take me, take me,'” he said. “They were eight, nine, ten years old. He was throwing money at them and would say, ‘Let’s meet at 10pm at the usual place.’ He would make love there on the gravestones with young boys. The question of consent wasn’t even raised.”
Sorman also said “Foucault would not have dared to do it in France” and that there was a “colonial dimension” and a “white imperialism” to it.
This ultimately does not come as a surprise. After all, Foucault was one of several French postmodernist philosophers, including Jean-Paul Sartre and Jacques Derrida, who once signed a petition to decriminalize consensual sex between adults and children below the age of 15.
Foucault has had a profound impact on contemporary academics and in the disciplines of philosophy and sociology. His philosophical worldview essentially reduces reality to mere relationships of power. Foucault was also a cultural and moral relativist, and anyone who studies him will easily see signs of his influence throughout contemporary academia and the woke left.
Foucault, a homosexual, died in Paris in 1984 from HIV/AIDS complications. He was 57 years old.
