Free eBooks The Government Of Self And Others: Lectures At The College De France, 1982-1983 (Lectures At The Collège De France) Available To Downloads
This lecture, given by Michel Foucault at the Collège de France, launches an inquiry into the notion of parresia and continues his rereading of ancient philosophy. Through the study of this notion of truth-telling, of speaking out freely, Foucault re-examines Greek citizenship, showing how the courage of the truth forms the forgotten ethical basis of Athenian democracy. The figure of the philosopher king, the condemnation of writing, and Socrates' rejection of political involvement are some of the many topics of ancient philosophy revisited here.

Foucault is difficult, but essential. For anybody seeking a way in, the series entitled 'Lectures at the College De France', beginning with Lectures on the Will to Know is perfect. Because the lectures were written for a lay public, the language makes his concepts much more accessible than does his academic writing. You can almost hear his voice in the presentations. In addition, the lectures distill what later become full-blown treatments. So one can get the essence of Foucault, and witness his development and change as a thinker, by reading the series in chronological order. That might now be possible with the publication of the above-mentioned 'Will...'.
