Don't forget to look at Ethics, Subjectivity and Truth, the collection
of essays selected/translated from Dits et Ecrits (Teemu said this).
There are a couple essays in there dealing with technologies of the
self, including the essay of the same title from the Vermont lecture.
There is also one on writing and self writing. That is really the
richest store of single essay and interview materials. There is some
material in History of Sexuality v2, but it is not the focus of the
book. The major work on the topic is, as Colin said, in The
Hermeneutics of the Subject and the Alcibiades material is in the
second or third lecture. But there is much more about Greco-Roman
spirituality throughout the whole book. The index will help there.

Maybe, my confusion is coming in by thinking that it should be part of the
official volumes of HS, but it really sounds like it is...HHMMM...It's
possible that I'm just being stubborn. Thank you so much for all your
help. I definitely have a firmer grasp of the directions to look into to
solve the puzzle.

Dear Teresa_______________________________________________
in the Vermont lecture about Technology of the self (it can be found for
example in the Essential works of MF, part Ethics) there's something that's
pretty close to what you were writing about. Also the course summary for the
Hermeneutics lecture series (eg in that same volume) contains something a
bit like that.
In HS vol 2 there seems to be at least something that's close: chapter I.3.
Enkrateia, in subunit 5 about the askesis.
That's maybe not quite what you were looking for though. If I'll find
something more relevant I will let you know.
best,
Teemu

Hello,
I have a technical question. I am presenting Foucault's 'technologies of
the self' to a group of fellow students. Now I have a copy of what I am
intended to present, but its in a collection of fragments. Obviously, I
need to locate the 'technologies of the self' with the rest of The History
of Sexuality. I know that it is supposed to be in volume 2, but I have
volume 2 and 3 and I can't seem to locate the section. I have the 1990
Random House Vintage Books, English translation by Robert Hurley. I was
wondering if anyone could give me a clue as to why I can't find this
section
in the editions that I have or if it would be under a different title - I
have went through the books with a 'fine toothed comb,' so to speak. Just
to inspire the search and to help light the way through this phenomenon,
it
is the part where Foucault speaks on the Alcibiades and incorporates that
glorious Delphic injunction. Thanks in advance.
