Michel Foucault

In the early 1950s, the young Michel Foucault took a keen interest in the method of existential analysis—Daseinsanalyse—developed by the Swiss psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger. He gave a lecture course on this topic at the University of Lille in the spring of 1953 and wrote a detailed introduction to the 1954 French translation of Binswanger’s Dream and Existence (1930), in which he promised a forthcoming book that would “situate existential analysis within the development of contemporary reflection on man.” This book presents Foucault’s unpublished manuscript on Binswanger and existential analysis for the first time in English, offering crucial insight into his intellectual development. Foucault carries out a systematic examination of Daseinsanalyse, contrasting it with psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and phenomenology and championing its ambition to understand mental illness. In his critique of existential analysis, Foucault began his turn toward emphasizing the primacy of experience, which would lead to the radically new perspective and genealogical methods of The History of Madness and The History of Sexuality. Revealing a little-known influence on Foucault’s historicist approach, Binswanger and Existential Analysis reminds us of his unparalleled ability to destabilize our conceptions of self.

Postuumisti julkaistut luentosarjat, joita Michel Foucault piti Collège de Francessa, ovat tarjonneet uusia näkökulmia hänen ajatteluunsa. Lukuvuonna 1977-1978 pidetty luentosarja Turvallisuus, alue, väestö on Foucault'n myöhäistuotannon kannalta yksi keskeisimmistä. Luennoissaan Foucault kehittelee ajatustaan vallan muuntautumisesta biovallaksi, väestönhallinnaksi joka tapahtuu elämää ja terveyttä säätelemällä. Alun perin vuonna 2010 suomennettu Turvallisuus, alue, väestö on edelleen eräs kattavimmista biovallan alkuperien ja historiallisten jatkumoiden analyyseistä: kaupunkitilan kontrolli, poliisin vallankäyttö, huoli kansanterveydestä ja oikeanlaisesta väestöstä, epidemioiden hallinta ja yhteiskunnan eri tasoja leikkaava turvallisuuspuhe eivät ole aiheina menettäneet ajankohtaisuuttaan.

La sexualite, est-elle reprimee? Devrions-nous par consequent nous efforcer de la liberer? Et si elle l'est, pourquoi sommes-nous sans cesse appeles a en parler - a dire vrai a propos de nos desirs sexuels et a reconnaitre dans notre sexualite la cle de notre identite? Ces questions sont au cur du projet foucaldien d'une histoire de la sexualite. Ce volume reunit une serie de textes inedits qui relevent de deux moments fondamentaux dans l'elaboration d'un tel projet. D'une part, le moment 1975-1976: les conferences prononcees aux Etats-Unis sur la notion de repression, le cours a l'Universite de Sao Paulo sur la genealogie du savoir moderne sur la sexualite, ainsi que la premiere version du debut de La volonte de savoir sont tous centres sur l'epoque moderne et nous offrent une perspective precieuse sur la facon dont Foucault concoit initialement son Histoire de la sexualite. D'autre part, le seminaire que Foucault anime, en 1980, au New York Institute for the Humanities sur le theme " Sexualite et solitude " temoigne du recentrement de l'etude du dispositif de sexualite en direction de l'analyse de l'emergence historique de la chair chretienne dans le christianisme primitif. Les textes ici recueillis permettent ainsi de suivre l'evolution complexe du projet foucaldien d'une histoire de la sexualite et de prendre la mesure de son ambition, de sa richesse et de son actualite.

Newly published lectures by Foucault on critique, Enlightenment, and the care of the self. On May 27, 1978, Michel Foucault gave a lecture to the French Society of Philosophy where he redefined his entire philosophical project in light of Immanuel Kant’s 1784 text “What Is Enlightenment?” Foucault strikingly characterizes critique as the political and moral attitude consisting in the “art of not being governed like this,” one that performs the function of destabilizing power relations and creating the space for a new formation of the self within the “politics of truth.” This volume presents the first critical edition of this crucial lecture alongside a previously unpublished lecture about the culture of the self and three public debates with Foucault at the University of California, Berkeley, in April 1983. There, for the first time, Foucault establishes a direct connection between his reflections on the Enlightenment and his analyses of Greco-Roman antiquity. However, far from suggesting a return to the ancient culture of the self, Foucault invites his audience to build a “new ethics” that bypasses the traditional references to religion, law, and science.

This book makes available, for the first time in English, lectures and interviews that Foucault gave in Japan in 1978, reconstructing their context, and isolating the question of their singular relevance for us today. In these forgotten lectures, in a free and often informal style, Foucault explores, together with his Japanese interlocutors, what it would mean to take up, from outside Europe, the questions he was raising at the time about Revolution and Enlightenment in the traditions of European critical thought. In a series of wide-ranging discussions, on sexuality and its history, non-Christian forms of spirituality, new forms of political movements, and the role of knowledge, power, and truth in them, Foucault examines these questions in relationship to Asia. He had hoped these questions, very much debated at the time in postwar Japan, would be the start of new forms of translation, publication, and exchange. At the heart of the lectures is thus a search for the creation of a new sort of transnational collaboration, recasting the history of European colonialism and opening to a philosophy no longer simply Western, yet to come. The Japan Lectures thus contribute to the new scholarship in Asian and in translation studies which has long since moved away from earlier "Area Studies"; at the same time, it participates in the new scholarship about Foucault’s own work and itinerary, following the publication of an extraordinary wealth of materials left unfinished or unpublished by his untimely death. In these ways, The Japan Lectures help us to better see the implications of Foucault’s work for philosophy in the 21st century.

Stort set alt, Foucault gør, gør han gennem en særlig form for kritisk filosofisk historieskrivning. Det gælder, når han skriver galskabens historie, den kliniske praksis’ historie, fængslets historie, humanvidenskabernes historie, styresystemernes historie og seksualitetens historie. Og det gælder, når han skriver kritikkens historie. Hos Foucaulter kritikkens rolle uløseligt forbundet med friheden som problem og med ideen om at kunne skrive og tænke sig hen til horisonten af en mulig, endnu ikke realiseret radikalanden væren og viden. Foucaults foredrag “Hvad er kritik?” blev afholdt 27. maj 1978 for Det Franske Filosofiselskab. Foredraget samler på én gang op på den udforskning af forholdet mellem viden og magt, han har bedrevet i de hidtidige værker, og peger frem mod spørgsmålet om et etisk gentænkt selv. Hvad er kritik? er en del af bogserien AFTRYK, der samler korte og vedkommende filosofiske tekster med væsentlig virkningshistorie. Louise Fabian har skrevet introduktiontil kritikbegrebet og den genealogiske metode hos Foucault og tekstens idemæssige aftryk.
