Zugriff:
Michel Foucault's return to classical antiquity at the end of his career coincides with a turn away from institutional critique and a return to Kant. This is no coincidence. Foucault's Introduction to Kant's ''Anthropology'' (1961) completely anticipates his approach to ancient subject formations, which reflects Kant's theory of the liberal, self-enterprising, and enlightened subject as this is outlined in Foucault's ''What Is Enlightenment?'' (1984) and elsewhere. Foucault's final studies surface isolated, private, and autonomous subjects who are at once premodern, proto-Christian, and uncannily modern. Fashioned by ascetic and aesthetic models of self-care, they testify to ''a genealogy of the modern subject.'' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
