For decades Foucault was mostly known for his diagnosis of
modernity as a form of entrapment, both in our modes of thought and
our behaviors. This book argues that Foucault's reappraisal of
modernity occurs with the 1978 and 1979 lectures, in which he
sketches modern power as governmentality and neoliberalism. From
this perspective, Foucault's once surprising studies on the Greeks'
constitution of the 'self' can be seen as a continuation of his
diagnosis of late modernity, and as an attempt to retrieve a form
of autonomy for our modern selves. One finds in the late Foucault a
postmodern conception of reason and not a destruction of reason;
but this is possible only if postmodernity is seen as a critical
exercise of reason in the analysis of norms.
