Critique and the Care of the Self

Description
How can we understand Foucault's work on ancient philosophy,
and its practices of truth-telling and technologies of the self?
While this late phase in Foucault's thought has often been seen as
marking an ethical turn, away from the explicit political stakes of
his earlier works, this book articulates the continuities between his
engagement with antiquity and political events in his own present.
Beginning with a reinterpretation of the question of early and
late style in Foucault's oeuvre, this investigation provides careful
readings of his lectures at the Collège de France, showing how
the care of the self - the style of existence - unfolds as a critical
project. With the notion of the subject developed in Foucault's
late work, the ancient practices of truth-telling can be articulated
with modern economic government, introducing a radically new
understanding of the concept of critique.
