An exciting and highly original examination of the practices of truth-telling and speaking out freely (parr?sia) in ancient Greek tragedy and philosophy. Foucault discusses the difficult and changing practices of truth-telling in ancient democracies and tyrannies and offers a new perspective on the specific relationship of philosophy to politics.

  • "Philosophy as exteriority with regard to a politics which constitutes its test of reality, philosophy as critique of a domain of illusion which challenges it to constitute itself as true discourse, and philosophy as ascesis, that is to say, as constitution of the subject by himself, are what constitute the modern mode of being of philosophy'"
  • ""Transcription des cours que M. Foucault donna au Collège de France en 1983. Chaque leçon est précédée d'un bref sommaire qui en indique les principales articulations. Dans ce cours consacré à la notion de parrêsia (franc-parler, courage de la vérité), M. Foucault réinterroge la citoyenneté grecque."--[Electre]."
  • "The lectures given by Michel Foucault in 1983 at the Collège de France launch an inquiry into the notion of parrẽsia and continue 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 truth forms the forgotten ethical basis of Athenian democracy. He describes how, with the decline of the city-states, the courage of truth is transformed and becomes directed personally to the Prince's soul, giving us a new reading of Plato's seventh letter. The platonic 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 in Foucault's lectures. In the midst of brilliant interpretations of Greek tragedy, political theory, and philosophy, Foucault allows us to rethink the role, the significance, and the transformation of practices of parrẽsia from antiquity to the present. Moreover, in these lectures Foucault constructs a figure of the philosopher in which he recognized himself and with this rereading of Greek thinkers he assures his own placement in philosophical modernity, problematizes his own function, and defines his mode of thinking and being. -- Jacket."

  • ""Nel corso che tiene nel 1983, Michel Foucault, già malato, continua la sua rilettura della filosofia antica e inaugura la ricerca sulla nozione di parresia (dire la verità, parlar franco). L'attività della parresia si configura come pratica di libertà, collocata in uno spazio di "esteriorità" rispetto alle istanze di potere. Attraverso lo studio di questa nozione, Foucault torna a interrogarsi sul significato di cittadinanza nella Grecia antica e mostra come il "coraggio della verità" - assolutamente evidente nella posizione antagonista dei cinici - costituisca il fondamento etico dimenticato della democrazia greca. Con la decadenza della polis, il coraggio della verità si trasforma e diventa il modo con cui il filosofo esercita la sua direzione sulla formazione dell'anima del principe e quindi sul governo degli altri. Nel rileggere i pensatori greci, Foucault costruisce una figura di filosofo in cui si riconosce: ciò che va definendo è la propria appartenenza alla modernità, il proprio ruolo di filosofo, il proprio modo di pensare e di essere."--Blurb."

  • ""The publications of Foucault's lectures at the College de France have given us an incredible view of the development of his thinking. This new volume, The Government of Self and Others, shows us how Foucault was conceiving the relation between the self and the others who make up the political, how fearless speech (parrA"sia) is at the center of both, and how parrA"sia defines, for Foucault, philosophical action itself. Thanks to these lectures, we see Foucault as the great thinker he is." - Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University, USA. "The publication of Foucault's lectures is momentous not only because they deepen our understanding of his books and essays, but because they dramatically change the way we read him. This study of the ancient practice of parresia -- philosophical truth-telling -- forces us to abandon the view that his late thought was a turn away from politics. The key question in these lectures is the relationship between philosophy and politics: their necessary dependence, but impossible coincidence. The political significance of philosophy was an acute problem for Foucault throughout his life. It remains a definitive question today for anyone concerned with the future of Western political thought and practice." - Johanna Oksala, University of Dundee, UK."
