Through an ambitious and critical revision of Michel Foucault's
investigation of ethics, James Faubion develops an original program
of empirical inquiry into the ethical domain. From an
anthropological perspective, Faubion argues that Foucault's
specification of the analytical parameters of this domain is the
most productive point of departure in conceptualizing its
distinctive features. He further argues that Foucault's framework
is in need of substantial revision to be of genuinely
anthropological scope. In making this revision, Faubion illustrates
his program with two extended case studies: one of a Portuguese
marquis and the other of a dual subject made up of the author and a
millenarian prophetess. The result is a conceptual apparatus that
is able to accommodate ethical pluralism and yield an account of
the limits of ethical variation, providing a novel resolution of
the problem of relativism that has haunted anthropological inquiry
into ethics since its inception.
