Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Philosophy - Philosophy of the 20th century, , language: English, abstract: the present study engages with the questions of subject and the activity of truth-telling in the context of the problem of language that frequently appears in Foucault since his appearance in French academics. It asks the questions: what is the mode of existence of language and being in Foucault and how are they related What is a sign Can one actually understand a sign in itself If neither the cogito (I think) can lead to an affirmation of being, nor the affirmation 'I speak' has it the autonomy to stand on its own, how one can relate oneself to truth.

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.
