Book Description:
The Hermeneutics of the Subject is the third volume in the collection of Michel Foucault's lectures at the College de France, one of the world's most prestigious institutions. Faculty at the college give public lectures, in which they can present works in progress on any subject of their choosing. Foucault's were more speculative and free ranging than the arguments of such groundbreaking works as The History of Sexuality or Madness and Civilization. In the lectures comprising this volume, Foucault focuses upon the ways the 'self' and consequently 'self study' have been conceived since the days of antiquity, starting with Socrates. Definitions and conceptions of 'self study' in Greek and Roman literature, Foucault argues, remain in force today, and underlie modern interpretations of the self. Engaging, engrossing, and provocative, The Hermeneutics of the Subject reveals Foucault at the height of his powers.
