From an Incontrare i Mostri conference notepad page:
But what then is philosophy today -- I mean the work of philosophizing -- if it isn't the critical effort of thought reflecting on itself?

(Valerie Allen's translation in "Middle-Aged Bodies" of Deleuze reading from Foucault (cf. James Miller, Passion 35-36)
