This volume is a partial record of that seminar. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn many ways, Foucault's project on the self was the logical conclusion to his historical inquiry over twenty-five years into insanity, deviancy, criminality, and sexuality. Because Foucault died before he completed the revisions of his seminar presentations, this volume includes a careful transcription instead...as a prolegomenon to that unfinished task. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFoucault was a French philosopher, historian of ideas, social theorist, philologist and literary critic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume was edited by Luther H.
