Synopsis
Parrhesia, a way of speaking truthfully, was the last great problem Michel Foucault took on in his later years. He found within it a relationship to the truth that was distinct from the dominant mode in our culture, a different articulation among subject, knowledge, and power—the concepts that make up the core of his work.
Foucault develops the concept of parrhesia in public space, in the right of citizens to speak frankly to power, and in the private sphere, in caring for the self. The exercise of the truth is a means to achieve freedom.
