It is worth referring to Eliot’ definition of heresy, in after Strange Gods. For Eliot the heretic is the one who takes hold of a truth, and makes it into the supreme truth: he is the one who presses on a truth so hard that it transforms itself to falsehood. This is the process that we see in Foucault, for whom domination became so vivid a reality, as to eclipse every other aspect of the human world. It became impossible for Foucault to accept that power is sometimes decent and benign, like the power of a loving parent, conferred by the object of love. The social world, subject to Foucault’s searing condemnation, was cleared of everything that redeems its ordinariness. Indeed, the heretic is the one for whom ordinariness is crime.
