This volume is a partial record of that seminar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn many ways, Foucault's project on the self was the logical conclusion to his historical inquiry over twenty-five years into insanity, deviancy, criminality, and sexuality. Because Foucault died before he completed the revisions of his seminar presentations, this volume includes a careful transcription instead...as a prolegomenon to that unfinished task.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52653364347160,"sku":"9780870235931","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/technologies-of-the-self-a-seminar-with-michel-foucault-paperback-softback-9780870235931","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
