Re: government

sorry, might be my bad translation

Ce qui veut dire tout simplement que, dans le type d'analyse que j'essaie de vous
proposer depuis un certain temps, vous voyez que : relations de
pouvoir-gouvernmentalité-gouvernment de soi et des autres-rapport de soi á soi,
tout ceci constitue une chaîne, un trame, et que c'est là, autour de ces notions,
que l'on doit pouvoir, je pense, articuler la question de la politique et la
question de l'éthique.
