This volume collects a series of lectures given by the renowned French thinker Michel Foucault late in his career The book is composed of two parts a talk Parrēsia delivered at the University of Grenoble in 1982 and a series of lectures entitled Discourse and Truth given at the University of California Berkeley in 1983 which appears here for the first time in its full and correct form Together they provide an unprecedented account of Foucaults reading of the Greek concept of parrēsia often translated as truthtelling or frank speech The lectures trace the transformation of this concept across Greek Roman and early Christian thought from its origins in preSocratic Greece to its role as a central element of the relationship between teacher and student In mapping the concepts history Foucaults concern is not to advocate for free speech rather his aim is to explore the moral and political position one must occupy in order to take the risk to speak truthfully These lecturescarefully edited and including notes and introductory material to fully illuminate Foucaults insightsare a major addition to Foucaults English language corpus nbsp
