"Speaking the Truth about Oneself is composed of lectures that acclaimed French philosopher
Michel Foucault delivered in 1982 at the University of Toronto. As is characteristic
of his later work, he is concerned here with the care and cultivation of the self,
which becomes the central theme of the second and third volumes of his famous History
of Sexuality, published in French in 1984, the month of his death, and which are explored
here in a striking and typically illuminating fashion. Throughout his career, Foucault
had always been interested in the question of how constellations of knowledge and
power produce and constitute subjects. But in the last phase of his life, he became
especially interested not only in how subjects are constituted by outside forces but
in how they constitute themselves. In this lecture series and accompanying seminar,
we find Foucault focused on antiquity, starting with classical Greece, the early Roman
dynasties, and concluding with fourth- and fifth-century Christian monasticism. Foucault's
claim is that, in these periods, we see the development of a new kind of act-"speaking
the truth" (about oneself)-as the locus of a new form of subjectivity, which he deemed
important not just for historical reasons but also as something modernity could harness
anew or adapt to its own purposes"
