Description

Foucault's Critical Ethics by Richard A. Lynch is an exploration of Michel Foucault's approach to ethics and power. Lynch examines how Foucault's analysis of power evolved over time, from his early work on disciplinary power to his later theories on biopower and governmentality. The author shows how these developments led to the formation of a distinct ethical project. Through an analysis of classical practices of care for the self, as well as engaged practice in gay communities, Lynch reveals the key elements of Foucault's ethics: a fundamentally critical attitude with substantive values and norms grounded in a practice of freedom.
