Truth & Subjectivity: Howison Lectures, UC Berkeley (1980, English)

  1. Lecture 1
  2. Lecture 2
  3. Lecture 3
  4. Lecture 4

On October 20 and 21, 1980, Michel Foucault presented the Howison Lectures in philosophy at UC Berkeley. The subject for his talks, nothing new for Foucault, was truth and subjectivity. The audio quality is a bit muffled--partiucarly during the question and answer portion; adjusting bass and treble will make listening more tolerable. Unlike the former lecture series on parrhesia, these lectures have not been transcribed or published to my knowledge. It is sort of amusing to listen to the questions from the perspective of social demographics. I went to school at Irvine, a much more politically conservative campus. The political attitudes reflected in the questions at this Berkeley seminar were quite rare on the UC Irvine campus...
