The Final Foucault is devoted to his last published (and some as
yet unpublished) work and includes a translation of one of his last
interviews, a comprehensive bibliography of his publications, and a
biographical chronology. Michel Foucault left a rich legacy of
ideas and approaches, many of which still await exposition and
analysis. The Final Foucault is devoted to his last published (and
some as yet unpublished) work and includes a translation of one of
his last interviews, a comprehensive bibliography of his
publications, and a biographical chronology. Foucault was still
working on his history of sexuality when he died in 1984, but his
main concern remained, as throughout his career, a deeper
understanding of the nature of truth. His final set of lectures at
the College de France, described here by Thomas Flynn, focused on
the concept of truth-telling as a moral virtue in the ancient
world. In the other essays, Karlis Racevskis examines the questions
of identity at the core of Foucault's work; Garth Gillan takes up
the problems inherent in any attempt to characterize Foucault's
philosophy; James Bernauer explores the ethical basis of Foucault's
work and offers a context for understanding his late interest in
the Christian experience; and Diane Rubenstein offers a Lacanian
interpretation of the last work. The Final Foucault is based on a
special issue of the Journal Philosophy and Social Criticism,
edited by David Rasmussen and published at Boston College.
