Michel Foucault and the Politics of Freedom

Viac o knihe

Exploring the concept of freedom, Thomas Dumm engages with Michel Foucault's ideas to challenge traditional views on modern liberty. He argues that Foucault's critical genealogy reveals how individuals are shaped by larger societal forces, yet it also highlights the potential for liberation and understanding one's freedom. By reconciling Foucault's insights with contemporary liberal thought, Dumm offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of freedom in late modernity, positioning Foucault as both a foundational thinker and a critical voice in liberal theory.
