A series of lectures on the spiritual, ethical and philosophical aspects of the exercise of power as government asks why individuals are required to both submit to laws and reveal the truth about themselves, analyzing examples in Sophocles' Oedipus the King and early Christian practices.
In these lectures, delivered in 1980, Foucault gives Marketing a new inflection to his history of regimes of truth, turning his attention to actions of manifesting the truth in the domain of spiritual and ethical techniques of the self
Why and how, Foucault asks, does the exercise of power as government demand not only acts of obedience and submission, but 'truth acts' in which individuals subject to relations of power are also required to be subjects in procedures of truth-telling? How and why are subjects required not just to tell the truth, but to tell the truth about themselves? These questions lead to a re-reading of Sophocles' Oedipus the King and, through an examination of the texts of Tertullian, Cassian, and others, to an analysis of the 'truth acts' in early Christian practices of baptism, penance, and spiritual direction.
