Freedom and Its Conditions - Discipline, Autonomy, and Resistance (Paperback)

Freedom and its Conditions challenges the received wisdom that discipline and freedom are opposite and mutually exclusive. Flathman shows how resistance to rules can mean more than criminals breaking laws. Resistance can also mean political protest and political dialogues about what the rules can be. This book draws on Foucault's theories of the self to describe the inner discipline it takes to resist authority - declaring that individuals must sometimes resist forces that wish to destroy freedom, to ensure freedom.
