In this perspective, political analysis, philosophy of history, epistemology, and ethics appear as necessarily cast together in a philosophical project that aims to rethink freedom and emancipation from domination of all kinds. The idea of practical philosophy accounts for Foucault's specific approach to the object, as well as to the task of philosophy, and it identifies the perspective that led him to consider the question of subjectivity as the guiding thread of his work. Overall, Cerrato shows the deep consistency underlying Foucault's reflection and the substantial coherence of his philosophical itinerary, setting aside all the conventional interpretations that pivot on the idea that his thought underwent a radical \"turn\" from the political engagement of the question of power toward an ethical retrieval of the question of subjectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaddalena Cerrato \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor of Critical Theory in the Department of International Affairs at the Bush School of Government and Public Service, Texas A\u0026amp;M University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51260128755986,"sku":"9798855802207","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_0550d12e-9808-4fe0-a33d-047e72ad5ba1.jpg?v=1746637243","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/michel-foucaults-practical-philosophy-a-critique-of-subjectivation-processes-9798855802207","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
