Shortly before his death in 1984, Michel Foucault spoke of an idea
for a new book on "technologies of the self." He described it as
"composed of different papers about the self...,about the role of
reading and writing in constituting the self... and so on." The
book Foucault envisioned was based on a faculty seminar on
"Technologies of the Self", originally presented at the University
of Vermont in the fall of 1982. This volume is a partial record of
that seminar. In many ways, Foucault's project on the self was the
logical conclusion to his historical inquiry over twenty-five years
into insanity, deviancy, criminality, and sexuality. Because
Foucault died before he completed the revisions of his seminar
presentations, this volume includes a careful transcription
instead...as a prolegomenon to that unfinished task.
