{"product_id":"the-late-foucault-marta-faustino-9781350134355","title":"The Late Foucault: Ethical and Political Questions","description":"Michel Foucault is one of the most important and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century and one of the leading figures in contemporary Western intellectual life and debate. The recent publication of his last lecture courses at the Coll鑒e de France (1981-1984), together with the short texts, essays, and interviews from the same period, have sparked new interest in his work, allowing for a new understanding of his philosophical trajectory and challenging several interpretations produced over the last few decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this later phase of his thinking, Foucault deepens and expands the course of his preceding works on the genealogy of subjectivity, while at the same time adding a significant ethical and political dimension to it. His focus on the ancient ethics of care of the self and technologies of self-constitution during this period adds important nuances to his previous positions on power, truth, and subjectivity, shedding new light on his philosophical endeavour as a whole and situating his reflections at the centre of current moral debates. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on the last stage of Foucault's thought, this book brings together international scholars to relaunch the critical debate on the significance of Foucault's so-called \"ethical turn\" and to discuss the ways in which the perspectives offered by Foucault in this period might help us to unravel modernity, giving us the tools to understand and transform our present, ethically and politically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marta Faustino, Gianfranco Ferraro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135013435X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350134355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Marta Faustino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942789546239,"sku":"9781350134355","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_61c6fdd2-afb0-43d0-b28b-52d72e32a614.jpg?v=1681494365","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-late-foucault-marta-faustino-9781350134355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
