Attended by thousands, Foucault's lectures were seminal events in the world of French letters, and his ideas expressed there remain benchmarks of contemporary critical inquiry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFoucault's wide-ranging lectures at this school, delivered throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, clearly influenced his groundbreaking books, especially \u003ci\u003eThe History of Sexuality\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDiscipline and Punish\u003c\/i\u003e. In the lectures comprising this volume, Foucault focuses on how the \"self\" and the \"care of the self\" were conceived during the period of antiquity, beginning with Socrates. The problems of the ethical formation of the self, Foucault argues, form the background for our own questions about subjectivity and remain at the center of contemporary moral thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis series of lectures continues to throw new light on Foucault's final works, and shows the full depth of his engagement with ancient thought. Lucid and provocative, \u003ci\u003eThe Hermeneutics of the Subject\u003c\/i\u003e reveals Foucault at the height of his powers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Foucault\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0312425708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312425708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 6.48w x 1.07d","brand":"Michel Foucault","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993947996415,"sku":"9780312425708","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_349d500b-00ef-4242-b9d1-176f959d17ce.jpg?v=1683327225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hermeneutics-of-the-subject-michel-foucault-9780312425708","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
