Foucault, Ethics and Healthy Choices

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This work focuses on the biopolitical use of lifestyle to govern individual choice and secure population health from the threat of obesity. The characterization of obesity as a threat to society caused by the cumulative effect of individual lifestyles has led to the politicization of daily choices, habits and practices as potential threats.
