Ethics
The Essential Works of Michel Foucault offer the definitive collection of Foucault's articles, interviews, and seminars that span the breadth and depth of his intellectual journey. Encompassing thirty years of his extraordinary career, this first volume, Ethics, introduces readers to the core of Foucault's philosophical explorations on ethical issues.
Ethics is more than a mere collection; it is an immersion into the thought processes and evolving theories of one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. The volume includes meticulously summarised courses from the Collège de France, illuminating Foucault's perspectives on pivotal topics. Readers will discover his profound analyses on the role of intellectuals and philosophers in society, the essence of friendship, the complexities of sexuality, and the imperative discourse on the care of the self and others.
Foucault's work is known for challenging traditional boundaries and provoking deep reflections on contemporary ethical dilemmas. In this collection, his candid interviews offer unparalleled insight into his personal views and critically acclaimed seminars throw light on his theoretical frameworks. Each article and interview encapsulates a fragment of his larger endeavour to redefine notions of power, truth, and morality.
This volume is indispensable for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or social theory. The collection provides not just a historical perspective into Foucault's groundbreaking thoughts but also presents themes that continue to resonate in today's scholarly and societal discourses.
