Reviews
"The present collection of essays has the great merit of clarifying Foucault’s ethical and political views in relation to some superficial and erroneous interpretations and shedding new light on the process of self-transformation. More importantly perhaps, the authors masterfully show what philosophy can achieve when it dares to challenge well entrenched views on contemporary ethical and social issues and, at the same time, seeks to remain reliant on its own historical roots." - Prof. Gabor Csepregi Dominican University College
