This happened in 1975, when Foucault spent the weekend in South California at the invitation of Simeon Wade Foucault, one of the brightest stars of the 20th century philosophy, located at the zenith of his glory, gave a lecture to graduate students of the college, after which he agreed to go to one of the most memorable trips in his Life. Led by Wade and his friend, Foucault first experimented with psychotropic substances, by morning he cried and stated that he knew the truth. “Foucault in the Death Valley” is a story about those long weekends.
