Book Michel Foucault et la dignit   humaine

Download or read book Michel Foucault et la dignit humaine written by Lucas Guimaraens and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La dignité humaine est une notion polysémique et « floue ». Il est donc important de comprendre sa construction juridique afin de mesurer les enjeux philosophico-politiques de son usage et son rapport avec les droits de l'homme. La pensée de Michel Foucault est ici utilisée comme méthode d'approche de cette notion. Il est question ici de repérer parmi les documents juridiques, philosophiques, médiatiques, etc., le sens possible de cette notion dans ces différents contextes en nous référant à l'usage régulier qui en est fait dans le monde juridique actuel.

  • Author : Dianna Taylor
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2014-12-05
  • ISBN : 1317492048
  • Pages : 193 pages

Download or read book Michel Foucault written by Dianna Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Foucault was one of the twentieth century's most influential and provocative thinkers. His work on freedom, subjectivity, and power is now central to thinking across an extraordinarily wide range of disciplines, including philosophy, history, education, psychology, politics, anthropology, sociology, and criminology. "Michel Foucault: Key Concepts" explores Foucault's central ideas, such as disciplinary power, biopower, bodies, spirituality, and practices of the self. Each essay focuses on a specific concept, analyzing its meaning and uses across Foucault's work, highlighting its connection to other concepts, and emphasizing its potential applications. Together, the chapters provide the main co-ordinates to map Foucault's work. But more than a guide to the work, "Michel Foucault: Key Concepts" introduces readers to Foucault's thinking, equipping them with a set of tools that can facilitate and enhance further study.

  • Author : Hubert L. Dreyfus
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2014-12-10
  • ISBN : 022615453X
  • Pages : 300 pages

Download or read book Michel Foucault written by Hubert L. Dreyfus and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which Foucault himself has judged accurate, is the first to provide a sustained, coherent analysis of Foucault's work as a whole. To demonstrate the sense in which Foucault's work is beyond structuralism and hermeneutics, the authors unfold a careful, analytical exposition of his oeuvre. They argue that during the of Foucault's work became a sustained and largely successful effort to develop a new method—"interpretative analytics"—capable fo explaining both the logic of structuralism's claim to be an objective science and the apparent validity of the hermeneutical counterclaim that the human sciences can proceed only by understanding the deepest meaning of the subject and his tradition. "There are many new secondary sources [on Foucault]. None surpass the book by Hubert Dreyfus and Paul Rabinow. . . . The American paperback edition contains Foucault's 'On the Genealogy of Ethics,' a lucid interview that is now our best source for seeing how he construed the whole project of the history of sexuality."—David Hoy, London Review of Books

Book Foucault and Social Dialogue

Download or read book Foucault and Social Dialogue written by Chris Falzon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-06-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foucault and Social Dialogue; Beyond Fragmentation is a compelling yet extremely clear investigation of these options and offers a new way forward. Christopher Falzon argues that the proper alternative to foundationalism is not fragmentation but dialogue and that such a dialogical picture can be found in the work of Michel Foucault. Such a reading of Foucault allows us to see, for the first time, the ethical and political position implicit in Foucault's work and how his work contributes to the larger debate concerning the death of man.

Book excerpt: Michel Foucault examines the archeology of madness in the West from 1500 to 1800 - from the late Middle Ages, when insanity was still considered part of everyday life and fools and lunatics walked the streets freely, to the time when such people began to be considered a threat, asylums were first built, and walls were erected between the "insane" and the rest of humanity.

Book Michel Foucault  A Research Companion

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michel Foucault continues to be hugely influential.

Based on his work in its entirety, and with special emphasis on his many recently published lecture series, this book provides an updated, comprehensive and original account of his thought. By reading Foucault as a philosopher, it offers an extensive systematic assessment and discussion of his unique conception of philosophical practice and brings a unifying trajectory in his work to light.

Book Critique and Power

  • Author : Michael Kelly
  • Publisher : MIT Press
  • Release : 1994-06-06
  • ISBN : 9780262610933
  • Pages : 428 pages

Download or read book Critique and Power written by Michael Kelly and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994-06-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book juxtaposes key texts from Foucault and Habermas; it then adds a set of reactions and commentaries by theorists who have taken up the two alternative approaches to power and critique. The result is a guide for those seeking to understand and build on an unfinished debate between two of the 20th century's most important philosophers. Which paradigm of critique—Foucault's or Habermas's—is philosophically and practically superior, especially with regard to the nature and role of power in contemporary society? In shaping this collection, Michael Kelly has sought to address this question in relation to the ethical, political, and social theory of the past two decades. Michel Foucault and Jurgen Habermas had only just begun to come to terms with one another's work when Foucault died in 1984; they had even discussed the possibility of a formal debate on "Enlightenment" in the neutral arena of the United States. In the decade since, Habermas and his supporters have continued to respond to Foucault in various ways, but Foucault's followers have not shown as strong an inclination to keep up his side of the dialogue. For this reason an invaluable exchange on the nature and limits of philosophy in the present age has never achieved its full potential. In this anthology Michael Kelly recasts the debate in a way that will open it up for further development. The book starts by juxtaposing key texts from the two philosophers; it then adds a set of reactions and commentaries by theorists who have taken up the two alternative approaches to power and critique. (Two of these essays were written especially for this volume.) The result is a guide for those seeking to understand and build on this important but unfinished debate. Essays by: Michel Foucault. Jürgen Habermas. Axel Honneth. Nancy Fraser. Richard Bernstein. Thomas McCarthy. James Schmidt and Thomas E. Wartenberg. Gilles Deleuze. Jana Sawicki. Michael Kelly.

Book  Discourse and Truth  and  Parresia

Download or read book Discourse and Truth and Parresia written by Michel Foucault and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects a series of lectures given by the renowned French thinker Michel Foucault late in his career. The book is composed of two parts: a talk, Parrēsia, delivered at the University of Grenoble in 1982, and a series of lectures entitled “Discourse and Truth,” given at the University of California, Berkeley in 1983, which appears here for the first time in its full and correct form. Together, they provide an unprecedented account of Foucault’s reading of the Greek concept of parrēsia, often translated as “truth-telling” or “frank speech.” The lectures trace the transformation of this concept across Greek, Roman, and early Christian thought, from its origins in pre-Socratic Greece to its role as a central element of the relationship between teacher and student. In mapping the concept’s history, Foucault’s concern is not to advocate for free speech; rather, his aim is to explore the moral and political position one must occupy in order to take the risk to speak truthfully. These lectures—carefully edited and including notes and introductory material to fully illuminate Foucault’s insights—are a major addition to Foucault’s English language corpus.

  • Author : Mariana Valverde
  • Publisher : Taylor & Francis
  • Release : 2017-02-03
  • ISBN : 1317220188
  • Pages : 198 pages

Download or read book Michel Foucault written by Mariana Valverde and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the theoretical contribution of Michel Foucault to the fields of criminology, law, justice and penology. It surveys both the ways in which the work of Foucault has been applied in criminology, but also how his work can be used to understand and explain contemporary issues and policies. Moreover, this book seeks to dispel some of the common misconceptions about the relevance of Foucault’s work to criminology and law. Mariana Valverde clearly explains the insights that Foucault’s rich body of work provides about different practices found in the fields of law, security, justice, and punishment; and how these insights have been used or could be used to understand and explain issues and policies that Foucault himself did not write about, including those that had not yet emerged during his lifetime. Drawing on key texts by Foucault such as Discipline and Punish, and also lectures he gave at the College de France and Louvain Criminology Institute which offer a more nuanced account of the development of criminal justice, Mariana Valverde offers the essential text on Foucault and his contribution and continued relevance to criminology. This book will be important reading for students and scholars of criminology, law, sociolegal studies, security studies, political theory and sociological theory.

Book excerpt: Le sujet selon Foucault est configuré suivant plusieurs pratiques discursives et non discursives et englouti dans des relations de savoir/pouvoir. La tâche du philosophe est d'en rendre compte et de mettre au clair les possibilités de connaître ce sujet, formé et transformé par le pouvoir. Ainsi il serait nécessaire de recommencer la modernité et de transformer son thème nodal, à savoir le sujet.
