"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
I don't think Nietzsche was renowned for having a glamorous life à la Indiana Jones.
So it may be more that...
"What doesn't kill you, doesn't kill you. It just adds another page to your book."
"Johann Margulies. Grosse fatigue" (Le Figaro magazine, 14 nov. 25)
My contribution interprets Foucault's recurrent post-1970 reflections on the appropriate method for analysing power relations on the basis of two archival documents: a reading note on Erich Ludendorff's 'Der totale Krieg' and a manuscript in which Foucault discusses his concept of 'governmentality'. I use the Ludendorff note to propose that his method for analysing power relations from the first half of the 1970s, whose basic assumption is that power relations are warlike in essence, may not immediately be derived from a reading of Nietzsche but from a projection of Ludendorff's ideas onto Nietzsche's work. The note on 'governmentality' is used to argue that despite a very significant post-1976 revision of his method for analysing power, Foucault retained the notion that politics is warfare, this time leaning on Carl Schmitt's political theory.
I finished writing this article in early 2024. I am very glad that it has finally seen the light of day, and in such an overall impressive issue of Foucault Studies at that.

Kundera's near masterpiece is compelling story, hypnotic characters and interactions, a profound theme, and . . . something else more elusive still.

„Es ist das Unglück der Tätigen, dass ihre Tätigkeit fast immer ein Wenig unvernünftig ist.
Man darf zum Beispiel bei dem geldsammelnden Banquier nach dem Zweck seiner rastlosen Tätigkeit nicht fragen: sie ist unvernünftig.
Die Tätigen rollen, wie der Stein rollt, gemäß der Dummheit der Mechanik.
Alle Menschen zerfallen [...] in Sklaven und Freie;
denn wer von seinem Tage nicht zwei Drittel für sich hat, ist ein Sklave.“
– Friedrich #Nietzsche
