ABSTRACT
At this point, we can make some general observations about Foucault’s approach to the analysis of the three broad domains that traverse his historical writings: rationality, government, and ethics. His approach to these three domains is anything but conventional, and maintains an awareness of their divergences and dislocations as much as their overlaps and interweaving. If you like, the lucidity Foucault achieves in his latter interviews-I am thinking especially of Foucault 1986d, 1986f, 1988c-would appear to stem from a three-dimensional grid of intelligibility that follows a path of permanent mutation.
