ABSTRACT

In this concluding chapter we discuss Foucault’s conception of the ethical and the question of what personal practice is appropriate given Foucault’s political philosophy as reconstructed thus far.

ETHICS AND THE CRITICAL ETHOS

The macro-practice Foucault proposes is critique; Foucault will not give any more guidance on how to oppose power at the strategic macro-level than that it must be informed by thoroughgoing, analytical criticism of the present, and that it must itself organise strategically.
