Re: [Foucault-L] Technical Question concerning 'Technologies of the Self'

HHMMMM...Very interesting Colin. I am familiar with the "Hermeneutics of
the Subject" - but the excerpt of the 'technologies of the self' that I have
doesn't correlate with Foucault's tone of voice in the lectures. Thank you
though. It helps and deepens the mystery all at once. It's all good.
