Foucault and the Modern InternationalFoucault and Method

Foucault and the Modern International: Foucault and Method [Inspired by Foucault’s remark that he “would like [his] books to be a kind of tool-box which others can dig in to find a tool with which they can make good use, in whatever manner they wish, in their own area,” the chapter proceeds to focus on how Foucault himself has applied his method, with special emphasis on his histories of the present, constructed to make contemporary arrangements peculiar—for example, showing that modernity’s will to truth with respect to sexuality (the demand that people give and account of who and what they are as sexual beings) constitutes a radical break with how sexuality had been problematized in early periods. The chapter goes on to treat Foucault’s concern with critique, owed to his persistent affinity with Kantian philosophy in which he breaks with representational thinking and seeks always to explore the conditions of possibility for that which emerges as an object of representation and ends a reflection on Foucault’s ethico-political sensibility.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Inspired by Foucault’s remark that he “would like [his] books to be a kind of tool-box which others can dig in to find a tool with which they can make good use, in whatever manner they wish, in their own area,” the chapter proceeds to focus on how Foucault himself has applied his method, with special emphasis on his histories of the present, constructed to make contemporary arrangements peculiar—for example, showing that modernity’s will to truth with respect to sexuality (the demand that people give and account of who and what they are as sexual beings) constitutes a radical break with how sexuality had been problematized in early periods. The chapter goes on to treat Foucault’s concern with critique, owed to his persistent affinity with Kantian philosophy in which he breaks with representational thinking and seeks always to explore the conditions of possibility for that which emerges as an object of representation and ends a reflection on Foucault’s ethico-political sensibility.]
