Tuomo Tiisala

Power and Freedom in the Space of Reasons (eBook, ePUB)

Elaborating Foucault's Pragmatism

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that the received view of the distinction between freedom and power must be rejected because it rests on an untenable account of the discursive cognition that endows individuals with the capacity for autonomy, self-governed rationality.

Rezensionen

"Power and Freedom in the Space of Reasons transforms our understanding of Foucault and opens up a wholly new perspective on the features of modernity he made visible. Tiisala boldly and deftly develops an account of the master idea that unifies Foucault's thought, both developmentally and thematically. The leitmotif the author discerns brings Foucault's multifarious writings into contact and conversation with the Sellarsian neopragmatist strand of contemporary Anglophone philosophy of language, freshly illuminating both currents of thought."

Robert B. Brandom, University of Pittsburgh, USA

"Tiisala's book is a brilliant, timely contribution to a renewed understanding of Michel Foucault's philosophical and critical project. By emphasizing the enduring relevance of the archaeology of knowledge for Foucault's problematization of the relationships between power and freedom, it compellingly reveals a pragmatist dimension in his thought. It thus masterfully shows the-still underappreciated-importance of Foucault's work for current debates in social and political philosophy, ethics, and the philosophy of language."

Daniele Lorenzini, University of Pennsylvania, USA
