Published two volumes that collect as many seminars sunita williams photos held by the French philosopher at the Sorbonne and the Catholic University of Leuven in the eighties. Pieces that go to make a research about the relationship between truth and Government
It is said that Michel Foucault, when asked by a young student on the facts of Italian terrorism, he replied: "The important thing today is especially St. Chrysostom." The anecdote is the best foundation to study the course sunita williams photos "Of the government of the living" (held at the Collège de France between 1979 and 1980. Volume was published under the title Du gouvernement des vivants, Seuil, p. 400, 26) and the seminar "Mal faire say vrai", sunita williams photos held in 1981 at the University of Leuven and published by the Presses Universitaires de Louvain ( 30).
The two texts, that a happy juncture editorial wanted were published together, are indeed a valuable opportunity to get back on the issues - central Foucault's last reflection - of the relationship between government and the truth, and, therefore, the relationship of absolute transitivity that alloy, the immanence of an ellipse, subjection and subjectification, ethics and politics (and - as is apparent sunita williams photos from these texts - even the black beast that Foucault is right). The 'fifth' which opens onto the course is a hall of the imperial palace of Septimius Severus. Foucault's attention is captured by the curious relationship between a space for the exercise of power and the administration of justice and its ceiling covered by the starry sky painted by concealing the astral configuration that gave birth to the emperor. The vault of the sky blanket of stars testify to a more decisive relationship between the cosmic logos and judgments handed sunita williams photos down by the emperor: the government of Septimius Severus follows a curve that goes from the stars in the world, qualifying, therefore, as a special way of exercising the power which accompanies, or through which it is expressed, the true manifestation of the order of the world. This bizarre overture provides sunita williams photos the right to Foucault to introduce a topic that has more than a few element of continuity with its past and reflections that will prove decisive in any case in that work of infinite return on its philosophical gesture. If, even in courses dedicated to governmentality, Foucault's research was focused on the analysis of the reasons why it is not possible to govern without possessing a thorough knowledge of the order of things and of human conduct, this need for economic and administrative reveals only one possible performance of the most crucial relationship between the exercise of power in the event of truth.
The truth of the starry sky of Septimius Severus in fact exceeds the knowledge useful to the government. It is, therefore, of a truth and exorbitant extra, sunita williams photos which it is manifested that responds minimally to the classical epistemic models. Argue that there is - beyond any rational knowledge - a pure manifestation of the true: not a truth to be established or to be established, nor simply a truth that is opposed to false. The truth in question here is the one that stands in the background of the unknown and therefore the operation that will concern not respond to the order of the organization of knowledge according to the exercise of government; it will invest quite a ritual manifestation of the truth but that has a relationship with the exercise of power, but very much different sunita williams photos from a simple utility that by pure calculation.
What Foucault points out is therefore a fundamental coappartenza between the exercise of power and manifestation of the truth. There is no hegemony without sunita williams photos aleturgia (ie a ritual manifestation of truth): where there is power, and if you want us to be, there must be a manifestation of the truth. The hypothesis that guides the course is therefore to investigate the ways and forms of a government of men by the truth. Operation that will eventually also involve the subversion of the link between knowledge and power that so much had been in the Foucauldian research. The imperative sunita williams photos of the investigation seems to be, literally, to get rid of this interpretive grid. If the previous courses had begun the revision of the concept of governmentality to power through, sunita williams photos first, and of the government, sunita williams photos after, it is now to try to speculate with a rehash of the concept sunita williams photos of knowledge in the direction of the problem of truth: sunita williams photos you can not in fact directing human beings and their behaviors without doing the tasks in the order of truth, such as to always exceed what is necessary and useful. Foucault seems in fact to make a correction with respect to the desire to know, coming to argue that, if the power can not be reduced to its biopolitical dimension, it is precisely because of this circle
