How can freedom and resistance be conceived within Foucault's theory of power and subjectivation? Karsten Schubert provides the first systematic reconstruction of the social-philosophical debate on freedom in Foucault's work and presents a new solution to the problem of freedom: freedom as the ability for reflexive critique of one's own subjectivation - in short, freedom as critique - is the result of free subjectivation within political institutions. The volume thus illustrates the implications of Foucault's thinking on freedom for democratic theory and the broader social-philosophical discussion on freedom.
