Michel Foucault's The Birth of Biopolitics are lectures he gave in 1978–1979 at the Collège de France in which he analyzes the emergence of neoliberalism, government, biopolitics, and contemporary forms of power.
Foucault explores how in antiquity subjectivity and truth were linked through the relationship to the body, pleasures, and self-care, and how this connection gradually changed towards the Christian model of confession.
In the book of interviews, Pierre Hadot explains through his personal life story and conversations with Jeannie Carlier and Arnold I. Davidson why ancient philosophy was above all a way of life and a spiritual exercise, and not just theoretical knowledge.
