    Newly published lectures by Foucault on critique, Enlightenment, and the care of the self. On May 27, 1978, Michel Foucault gave a lecture to the French Society of Philosophy where he redefines his entire philosophical project in light of Immanuel Kant’s 1784 text, “What Is Enlightenment?” Foucault strikingly characterizes critique as the political and moral attitude consisting in the “art of not being governed in this particular way,” one that p…

    In 1980, Michel Foucault began a vast project of research on the relationship between subjectivity and truth, an examination of conscience, confession, and truth-telling that would become a crucial feature of his life-long work on the relationship between knowledge, power, and the self. The lectures published here offer one of the clearest pathways into this project, contrasting Greco-Roman techniques of the self with those of early Christian mon…

  • The Punitive Society: Lectures at the Collège de France, 1972-1973

    Michel Foucault, Arnold I Davidson et al.BOOKPunitive Society2015

    These thirteen lectures on the 'punitive society,' delivered at the Collège de France in the first three months of 1973, examine the way in which the relations between justice and truth that govern modern penal law were forged, and question what links them to the emergence of a new punitive regime that still dominates contemporary society."--From publisher description

    Open AccessArnold I DavidsonARTICLEHistory of the Human Sciences2011Cited by: 100

    Without access to Michel Foucault's courses, it was extremely difficult to understand his reorientation from an analysis of the strategies and tactics of power immanent in the modern discourse on sexuality (1976) to an analysis of the ancient forms and modalities of relation to oneself by which one constituted oneself as a moral subject of sexual conduct (1984). In short, Foucault's passage from the political to the ethical dimension of sexuality…

  • Security, territory, population: Lectures at the Collège de France, 1977-78

    Michel Foucault, Michel Senellart et al.BOOKSecurity, territory, population2007

    Marking a major development in Foucault's thinking, this book derives from the lecture course which he gave at the College de France between January and April, 1978. Taking as his starting point the notion of "bio-power," introduced both in his 1976 course Society Must be Defended and in the first volume of his History of Sexuality, Foucault sets out to study the emergence of this new technology of power over population."--Jacket

  • Ethics as Ascetics: Foucault, the History of Ethics, and Ancient Thought

    Open AccessArnold I DavidsonCHAPTERThe Cambridge Companion to Foucault2005

    In presenting the topic of Michel Foucault's significance as a writer of the history of ethics, I have two main goals. First, I hope to be able to elucidate Foucault's aims in shifting his attention, in his last writings, to what he called "ethics." These aims, in my opinion, have been widely misinterpreted and even more widely ignored, and the result has been a failure to come to terms with the conceptual and philosophical distinctiveness of Fou…

  • The Cambridge Companion to Foucault

    Open AccessThomas Flynn, Georges Canguilhem et al.BOOKThe Cambridge companion to Foucault2005

    For Michel Foucault, philosophy was a way of questioning the allegedly necessary truths that underpin the practices and institutions of modern society. He carried this out in a series of deeply original and strikingly controversial studies on the origins of modern medical and social scientific disciplines. These studies have raised fundamental questions about the nature of human knowledge and its relation to power structures, and have become majo…

    music with more power, more passionately and more persuasively than Vladimir Jankélévitch. 1 His books and essays make us re-hear twentieth-century music in its entirety, above all in light of his descriptions of an aesthetics and morality of simplicity in which the virtue of understatement is made to stand out against the excesses of magniloquence: "The arid and sparing concision of a Ravel, the austerity of a Falla, the heroic held-back quality…
