Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, , language: English, abstract: It is quite interesting to notice that as Foucault re-imagined his entire intellectual endeavour, he rightly elevated one aspect of his interest to the heart of the entire problematic whether it be his study of knowledge or power or even human behaviour - and that is the problem of subject. Though an idea of a 'passive subject' is implicit in his early studies, as they deal with the discursive formations and power, it is only in Foucault's later writings that 'subject' emerges as the major concern. Subject here becomes central to one function that is the function of 'telling the truth,' especially, in a historical formation in which 'truth' is something that is granted and is produced in an environment of inter-related discursive and non-discursive systems.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi), language: English, abstract: In the later years of his life, Foucault associates his genealogical studies of discourse, institutions and practices to the Kantian 'ontology of ourselves,' insisting that they, like Kantian ontology, are focused on something within our present in order to initiate change from within. His reflections on the question of 'what our present is ' provide an experience of modernity precisely that aspect of it which is mostly fragile or sensitive at the present time, to permit us to emerge from it as transformed. To put differently, the point is to show that what appears obvious to us from the standpoints of modern scientific, legal and moral discourses is not at all so obvious. This fragility of the present beliefs and practices, Foucault argues, must be grasped in the question 'what it is ' and should be attempted to transform by using the desire for freedom. In a similar line, Kant argues that 'have courage to use your own understanding' is the motto of enlightenment.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, , language: English, abstract: the directions often and repeatedly taken in most of the works that have been undertaken on Foucault are to place him within the general continental philosophy; to examine the theoretical and methodological breaks and continuities within his work and between his work and other major figures in the discipline; to examine the nature of his work, that is, to say whether he can be placed part on the thesis, the accepted ¿classics¿ of Continental Thought, or with the postmodern, post-structural antithesis; to examine the outcome of his work or what impacts his work has had on Western culture. The present study rather asks a very simple and straightforward question and, that is, how did the way Foucault use historical archaeology allowed him, as an analyst, to change himself from within Or how Foucault¿s usage of language constantly changed himself from within Or what is there in language, if it comes from outside, that transforms the reader from within Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Englisch.
