This is an important interview for understanding Michel Foucault's creative evolution. It was conducted by American scholar Heather Dandes in 2017. It is translated into Ukrainian for the first time. Clermont High School professor Simeon Wade and his friend, musician Michael Stoneman, invited Foucault to take part in a journey to Death Valley in June 1975. The philosopher accepted the proposal. They spent two days and one night in the desert. Foucault described this experience as one of the most important in his life.
