Foucault was still working on his history of sexuality when he died in 1984, but his main concern remained, as throughout his career, a deeper understanding of the nature of truth. His final set of lectures at the College de France, described here by Thomas Flynn, focused on the concept of truth-telling as a moral virtue in the ancient world. In the other essays, Karlis Racevskis examines the questions of identity at the core of Foucault's work; Garth Gillan takes up the problems inherent in any attempt to characterize Foucault's philosophy; James Bernauer explores the ethical basis of Foucault's work and offers a context for understanding his late interest in the Christian experience; and Diane Rubenstein offers a Lacanian interpretation of the last work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Final Foucault is based on a special issue of the Journal Philosophy and Social Criticism, edited by David Rasmussen and published at Boston College.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47592019198103,"sku":"9780262521321","price":3392.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262521321.webp?v=1774975702","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-final-foucault-9780262521321","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
