'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

Foucault + truth telling « Previous | |Next »
July 21, 2006

Paul Allen Miller's Truth Telling in Foucault in Parrhesia refers to Foucault's 1982-83 course at the College de France, "Le gouvernement de soi et des autres," .this is concerned with “truthtelling”---or more literally, and the constitution of the subject in relation to historically discrete structures of power.

In these lectures Foucault traces a fundamental shift that occurs in the way parrhesia is conceived, from the inherited right of democratic speech in the agonistic politics of fifth-century Athens to the honest speech offered by the philosophical counselor to the prince or other instances of aristocratic and sovereign power in the fourth century and the Hellenistic period.
