Klappentext
This book offers a bold reinterpretation of Michel Foucault's late work, reconstructing him as an ethical philosopher whose account of antiquity provides crucial resources for understanding contemporary forms of power. Bringing Foucault into original dialogue with Habermas, Beck, and Giddens, the book develops a genealogical reading that bridges Foucault's analyses of selfformation, governmentality, and modernity. It shows how key democratic and globalisationrelated theories---often assumed to stand apart from neoliberal modes of rule---can themselves reproduce subtle forms of governmentality. Through a sustained engagement with ancient ethical practices, cognitive ethics, reflexive modernisation, and global thirdway politics, the book demonstrates how Foucault's late thought offers both a critique of modern Western societies and a heuristic framework for creative selfcare in the present.
