The central thesis of Foucault's Critical Ethics is that Foucault's
account of power does not foreclose the possibility of ethics; on
the contrary, it provides a framework within which ethics becomes
possible. Tracing the evolution of Foucault's analysis of power
from his early articulations of disciplinary power to his
theorizations of biopower and governmentality, Richard A. Lynch
shows how Foucault's ethical project emerged through two interwoven
trajectories: analysis of classical practices of the care of the
self, and engaged practice in and reflection upon the limits of
sexuality and the development of friendship in gay communities.
These strands of experience and inquiry allowed Foucault to develop
contrasting yet interwoven aspects of his ethics; they also
underscored how ethical practice emerges within and from contexts
of power relations. The gay community's response to AIDS and its
parallels with the feminist ethics of care serve to illustrate the
resources of a Foucauldian ethic-a fundamentally critical attitude,
with substantive (but revisable) values and norms grounded in a
practice of freedom.
