Publisher Description For decades Foucault was mostly known for his diagnosis of modernity as a form of entrapment, both in our modes of thought and our behaviors. This book argues that Foucaults reappraisal of modernity occurs with the 1978 and 1979 lectures, in which he sketches modern power as governmentality and neoliberalism. From this perspective, Foucaults once surprising studies on the Greeks constitution of the self can be seen as a continuation of his diagnosis of late modernity, and as an attempt to retrieve a form of autonomy for our modern selves. One finds in the late Foucault a postmodern conception of reason and not a destruction of reason; but this is possible only if postmodernity is seen as a critical exercise of reason in the analysis of norms. Author Biography Laurence Barry is an associate lecturer at the Hebrew University and a trained actuary. She currently researches the implications of big data for insurance as a practice of neoliberal governmentality at Chaire PARI (ENSAE/Sciences Po), France.
