Technologies Of The Self by Michel Foucault
A Seminar with Michel Foucault

It explores the concept of "technologies of the self," which refers to the methods and techniques people use to understand and transform themselves, often influenced by cultural, historical, and social contexts. The text examines how these self-forming practices have evolved over time, highlighting the interplay between power, knowledge, and the self in the process of personal development and ethical self-governance.
