A set of late interviews, essays, and critical responses orbiting the closing phase of Michel Foucault’s work—where his attention turns from institutions and discipline toward ethics, subjectivity, and the possibility of self-formation as a practice.

The book reads as a contested field: Foucault in dialogue, being interpreted, resisted, extended. There’s a sense of philosophy mid-movement—questions of power giving way to questions of how to live, how to constitute oneself without falling back into the same structures he spent a career dismantling. It’s less introductory than diagnostic: you’re watching a framework loosen and reconfigure in real time.

This is the 1988 MIT Press paperback (first MIT edition), in good condition with light edge wear, minor creasing to the covers, and a clean, unmarked interior.
