Excellent- More about The Late Foucault: Ethical and Political Questions
Michel Foucault's last lecture courses at the Collège de France (1981-1984) have sparked new interest in his work, challenging previous interpretations and adding an ethical and political dimension to his philosophy. This book discusses the significance of Foucault's "ethical turn" and how it can help us understand and transform our present, ethically and politically.

Michel Foucault, a pivotal and contentious figure of the 20th century, stands as a prominent figure in contemporary Western intellectual discourse and debate. The recent release of his final lecture courses at the Collège de France (1981-1984), coupled with concise writings, essays, and interviews from the same era, has reignited interest in his work, offering a fresh perspective on his philosophical trajectory and challenging prevailing interpretations over the past few decades.
In this later phase of his intellectual journey, Foucault delves deeper into and broadens the scope of his earlier works on the genealogy of subjectivity, while simultaneously incorporating a substantial ethical and political dimension. His focus on the ancient ethics of self-care and technologies of self-constitution during this period adds valuable nuances to his previous positions on power, truth, and subjectivity, shedding new light on his overarching philosophical endeavor and placing his reflections at the forefront of current moral debates.
Centering on the final stage of Foucault's thought, this book brings together esteemed scholars from around the world to rekindle the critical discussion surrounding Foucault's so-called "ethical turn." Through their scholarly insights, they explore the ways in which the perspectives offered by Foucault during this period can aid us in unraveling modernity, equipping us with the tools to understand and transform our present, both ethically and politically.
