The Courage Of Truth The Government Of Self And Others Ii Lectures At The College De France 19831984

The Courage of the Truth is the last course that Michel Foucault delivered at the Collge de France. Here he continues the theme of the previous years lectures in exploring the notion of truthtelling in politics to establish a number of ethically irreducible conditions based on courage and conviction. His death on June 25th 1984 tempts us to detect the philosophical testament in these lectures especially in view of the prominence they give to the themes of life and death.
