Description

The Courage of Truth is the final course delivered by Michel Foucault at the College de France before his death in 1984. In this lecture, he explores the notion of "truth-telling" in politics and establishes ethically irreducible conditions based on courage and conviction.

Building on the themes introduced in previous lectures, Foucault examines the relationship between truth, power, and ethics, providing a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in seeking and upholding truth in political contexts.

This book offers a unique insight into Foucault's final thoughts on politics, philosophy, and ethics, making it an essential read for anyone interested in these subjects.
