This is the first of three volumes collecting the most significant writings and interviews of Michel Foucault outside his published monographs. ETHICS contains Foucault's summaries of the highly influential courses he taught at the College de Francefrom 1970 to 1982 (hitherto never translated into English), as well as engaging and unusally candid interviews and Foucault's key writings on ethics. 'A fabulous journey through thirty years of political and intellectual ferment that shows that Foucault's work is as alive and contemporary as ever' -- Didier Eribon

Somewhere, and I may have overlooked this prior to buying this work, there may have been a line stating this was published posthumously in the Amazon blurb. But as the vultures of capitalist professionalism testify, a man's testament is not as valuable as his existing works. And so, much like Kafka, Foucault must look on with a blithe spirit. All we have in this first volume is a collection of lecuture notes, interviews and preliminary sketches or outlines for his greater works, and this poorly collected work was enough to deter me from buying the further volumes. It is indeed a mess of irrelevance which will do nothing to further the understanding of one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century.
