APPENDIX TO LECTURE 3

[We insert here the end of page 15 and page 16 of the manuscript, which contain a long crossed-out passage that Foucault indicates should be carried over to page 20 and that constitutes a variant of the beginning of this lecture.]

We see therefore the construction of a whole edifice of very different elements: [15]

• social practices (assistance);

• techniques of knowledge;

• economic theories;

• social demands;

• legal reforms;

• moral and literary themes.

Now it is not enough to say that this is all ideology (some elements are not of an ideological kind), but of showing how ideology gets these elements to work and establishes relations between them. Ideology is the functional system of the elements and not the nature of the elements. Ideological operation.13

We can see how ideology gets this set to work and what relations it establishes between them.

• Reversing the order of processes:

Morality → nature → limitation

[…]l

• It substitutes nature for economic necessity.

• It presents a social demand in the form of a moral rule.

• It divides the social field but creates the appearance of a [16] fictional unity through law.
