Description

The Punitive Society Lectures at the Collège de France, 1972-1973 In these thirteen lectures, Michel Foucault examines the relationship between justice and truth in modern penal law, questioning how this relationship has shaped the emergence of a new punitive regime that still dominates contemporary society. Delivered at the Collège de France in 1973, the lectures offer a thought-provoking analysis of the links between justice, truth, and power. Foucault's work remains relevant today, offering insights into the ongoing relevance of his ideas. The lectures are a valuable contribution to the field of philosophy, particularly in the areas of ethics and moral philosophy, and politics.
