Opis

"Foucault's Ethics" will overview and critically discuss the core ethical themes in Foucault's work, focusing on ethics as a form of normative personal and political guidance through active engagement in the world. Mark Olssen attempts to construct a 'Foucauldian' ethics by articulating the types of ethics that Foucault himself subscribed to and which are revealed, at times only latently, within his writings.
