Shortly before his death in 1984, Michel Foucault spoke of an idea for a new book on 'technologies of the self. ' He described it as 'composed of different papers about the self…, about the role of reading and writing in constituting the self… and so on. ' The book Foucault envisioned was based on a faculty seminar on 'Technologies of the Self, ' originally presented at the University of Vermont in the fall of 1982. This volume is a partial record of that seminar. In many ways, Foucault's project on the self was the logical conclusion to his historical inquiry over twenty-five years into insanity, deviancy, criminality, and sexuality. Because Foucault died before he completed the revisions of his seminar presentations, this volume includes a careful transcription instead…as a prolegomenon to that unfinished task. Foucault was a French philosopher, historian of ideas, social theorist, philologist and literary critic. This volume was edited by Luther H. Martin, Huck Gutman, and Patrick H. Hutton.
