[Foucault-L] Foucault's 'What is Enlightenment?' essay

Dear all,

I'm trying to find out the year in which Foucault's essay 'What is Enlightenment?' was written. It appears in Ethics: Essential Works, Vol. 1 and the Foucault Reader (ed. Paul Rabinow), but neither book appears to give a date for the essay. I know Foucault wrote several essays and lectures on this theme from as early as 1978 and as late as 1983, but I'm keen to know the precise year in which this particular piece was written. Can anyone help me on this one?

Thanks in advance,
Nick
