This text examines the work of Nietzsche, Weber and Foucalut as a
distinct trajectory of critical thinking within modern thought
which traces the emergence and development of genealogy in the form
of immanent critique. The book aims to clarify the relations
between these thinkers and to respond to Habermas' (and Dews')
charge that these thinkers are nihilists and that their approach is
philosophically incoherent and practically irresponsible by showing
how genealogy as a practical activity is directed towards the
achievements of human autonomy. The scope of the book covers the
critical methodolgies developed by these thinkers with respect to
the analysis of how we have become what we are, their substantive
reconstructions of how we have become what we are and the
implication which they draw for the possiblity of human autonomy in
the present. It proceeds by detailed analysis of each thinker in
turn showing the structure of their approach, their historical
account of the emergence of modernity, and the politics of their
attempts to facilitate the achievement of human autonomy.
